So far ive done an off road y pipe spintech pro street 9000 exhaust, electric fans, spectra air intake. At the end of the month im ordering the hughes airgap intake and big gulp throttle body and either an sct programmer or a mopar performance ecu whichever yields more gains thinking of 1.7 rr not sure yet right now I cant spin the 3rd gen 20"s unless its wet lol. Will eventually throw a 4.10 posi gear set in and heads and cam work. Havent decided on which route ill go na or blown. Basically want a reliable daily driver with more power. Also considering adding the hydrogen conversion kit (6 cell) next month also. im very well mechanically inclined just never built a dodge. I can tell you about gm all day (especially how ****ty they are lol) any suggestions would be appreciated just curious as to what gains i can expect with the intake,throttle body and scanner/ecu right now.

 

Unless you have $$$$ to spend keep it NA, blown gets expensive quick.

Not sure if you can tune a 96, IF it could be done Hemifever is your guy, if not the Mopar Performance ECU is probably the next best alternative, I *think* merch225hp has one.

 

Take the 20s off and put smaller rims on, the truck gods are mocking you

 

Lol yeah rhe stock 16"s were crappy and needed new tires and i got the 3rd gen rims with new 275/65/20 wranglers for $400 on craigslist. Of course i couldnt even spin the stock size that well either probably due to the burnt transmission. But these combined with the bilstein shocks lifted the truck at least 2" also are the underdrive pulleys worth it?

 

It wont let me pm anyone yet too new had the same issue on the cadillac forum. Anyway you can reach out to him for me?
