Default plugs

i was just introduced to some new plugs and before i do anything i want to get some second opinions on them. they are Pulstars-iridium plugs and for a Dak they run about $12.95 each. now if i get those what cables should i get to run with them?

Its all good, just making sure we were still talking about G3 Dakota's. Unfortunately the stockers are the only ones available for our trucks. Those plugs you are looking at are very expensive, I would consider a cheaper plug a range colder.

well like i said i am trying. i just got some knuckle head over here at work ranting and raving about them. come to think of it i don't think he even has them on his vehicle at all. hey a while back you posted a bunch of upgrades that we could do to our vehicles. it was on my "un answered questions" post, those are all things that you did, but i don't think they offer a lot of those items for an '06.

Anything I've done to my 05 you can do to your 06.

We will start with Camshaft. You have the option of HO, 206, 212, 212x and 224 grind cams.

You have several gears setups to choose from also. The trouble with 4x4 is finding a set for the front. For gears you have 3.55, 3.92, 4.10, 4.56 etc.

If you want to run boost look into sts turbo sytems.

Also any supercharger designed for the SVT Cobra 4.6L will work thanks to Airrams mounting bracket. You will have to have custom pulleys made to get the belts to line up.

Bigger Injectors
Bosch 0280156127 #39 Injectors designed for the SVT Cobra. They are a direct replacement.

For Exhaust you have high flow cats

Headers

JBA

Tuners
SCT

so all this is what i am capable of doing. cause when i pulled some of them up they said like 03' to 05' and there was no 06'.

That is correct. Any modification I have made to my 05 can be made to your 06. Including everything on that list.

i will have to save that list then cause it will be hard to do those things here in alaska. the shipping and handling will kill me, plus to find a place to do it is hard to find. so at this moment and time i am thinking of things to do that are small and worth while. like the what i have gotten done already. so in your opinion what else is out there for me?

What kind of gains do you get from the injector upgrade?? Would it work better with other upgrades?? and if so which ones?
