Do yourself a favor and fix the known problems before spending money else where. Like this for instance. Read the entire thread. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...um-thread.html

Fix the plenum.
New O2 sensors.
Full Tune up. (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, pcv valve from the dealer.)
New timing chain and gears.
SCT tuner.
Harland Sharp 1.7 ratio roller rockers.
headers.
high flow cat with y-pipe. (or, a better flowing exhaust in general. no cat at all if you can get away with it.)

that stuff will run ya right around a grand. Maybe a bit more.

Really wanna make it tow good? Re-gear..... (700 to 1600 bucks, depending on 2 or 4 wheel drive.....)
