Default Dissapointing!

Not wanting to crash your ideas of looking for horsepower but do listen to those who replied. You will need heads..cam..headers...TB....exhaust system etc. to get you you up the power ladder. None of it cheap.
The best mod I ever did on my 360 Magnum was stroke it to 408. Save your mod money and tuck it away then stroke it.(From a believer..408..the engine Dodge should have made)

How much did the stroke cost and what all was done other than the stroke? How much horse power?

Being its a 94 it will be hard to Get a good tune for it if you do , do Amy hardcore mods . Even Sct on a stock truck opens it up good . My superchips sucks monkey ***** to the Sct . So I'm sure a chip isn't doing anything

What he's saying is that the easy tuning options available for the 96-on trucks is not compatible with us obd1 (94-95) guys.

You need to contact professor merc225hp about OBD1 cams it sounds like. I'm getting ready to sell my brand new h&s 1.7's s I can spend it on a oem valve train friendly rv type cam and some new lifters. Not much more $ than h&s's but potentially much more drastic difference.

Later on when I can afford some ported clearwaters I''ll use them with some mopar adjustable 1.7 rr's and an m1. That really ought to do it.

That thread is a good start for performance mods. You will never get over 300 HP without dropping about 3K into the engine.
If that guy would have ditched the factory y pipe and used the ceramic edelbrock mid pipes along with a mopar m1 and 52mm tb he probably woulda had like 30 or 40 more hp and a bunch more torque too.

I was trying to clarify what Lastrights had said.

I actually have talked with Merc some, and when I get to the motor modding stage I plan to do just about exactly what you just said with mine
