Default What next?

Well, I just got done putting a flowmaster 40 series on my 2000 3.9L ram 1500. It definately feels like it has more power and is being less restricted. For my next project I want to either put a high flow cat, a new TB, or a cold air intake on it. Right now I have the stock air box with a K&N filter in it. What would you guys reccomend?

Also does it matter if it is from a 5.2L or a 5.9L?

if you already have the K&N the cold air INDUCTION will not make a difference.

Dont replace the cat unless its faulty. Most shops won't do it anyway. Try the TB, open your intake up to match it if possible otherwise 10hp would be a stretch.

he's got the v6 which is better for some anyway, cant get them into too much trouble. the linkage I THINK is different, if it is, you should be able to take it to a carb shop and they may be able to swap it over for you. I dont recall what the mounting looked like on mine since its been a while.
