im lookin to just get a little extra out of my motor...im not in huge need of power at the moment...so im thinkin cam, some roller rockers...intake, headers...i have a full exhaust...custom y piping from headers to what used to be cat...and i have the flowmaster catback system...what about throttle body spacers...??? any suggestions, as well, what could i do to have a smoother tranny for all around with all upgrades and just more capabilities? please help out, thanx

 

First ... flush the TB spacer idea. They're junk on these motors. Look into a Fastman TB, 1.7 rockers (instead of a cam) and programmer for your PCM (Hypertech or Superchips). Headers can't hurt either.

 

sounds like some good info to me, thanx for the input...any news on why the TB spacers are junk on these motors? just curious...still be a good idea to run a new k&n intake

 

The TB on these motors only flow air ... the fuel is injected into the intake manifold right before each cylinder. All the spacer does is make the air path slightly longer ... no gain in that.

As far as the intake is concerned ... read this: https://dodgeforum.com/m_613741/tm.htm

The 1.7 ratio rockers are what the Viper uses ... gives each valve a bit higher lift and (I believe) longer duration (compared to the 1.6 ratio stock rockers we have) ... like having a mild cam installed.

 

yea i figured that much on the rockers...i already had those planned out to tell you the truth as well as the TB spacer...but im gonna scratch that one...any suggestions on tranny upgrades

 

anyone?

 

spacers are worthless on the mag motor... for more top end on a 360, 52mm TB, mod the intake manifold, gibson headers, K&N FIPK with a 6x9 round filter, 1.7 roller rockers and 3" in dual 2.5" out exhaust (I prefer flowmaster). expect your bottom end to drop but the top end will be really strong.

 

A good HD shift kit. It's about all you really need. That's under the assumption you'll be running a HUGE after market cooler and have eliminated the check valve. Tranny tempguage wouldn't hurt either.

 

i was thinking of the hd shift kit...would it be my best bet to do it myself...or take it to a trans shop and have them do the whole upgrade

 

i put in a B&M Transpak shift kit in my 95 1500 in about 3 hours total time, taking my time and everything, i love it.
bought it from Summit for only about $60 and made huge difference.
