Hey guys, I'm new here and I'm looking forward to meeting you all and contributing as best as I can. I just bought an '05 Dakota ST Club Cab 4x4 with the 4.7L V8 and I'm absolutley loving it. I think it handles incredible, has an awesome ride and has some decent output, though I'd like to bump it up a bit (who wouldn't?). I was wondering if anyone knows about when we should expect to see some aftermarket parts for the new Dak? I would like to install a K&N Intake or Air Filter, nice headers (something like Hooker or Borla), a nice exhaust system (Borla or Flowmaster) and finally tune the ECU. I'd optimally like to get about 290-200hp out of my 4.7, so any other tips would be greatley appreciated. One thing I can do now is wheels and tires. I got the "C" package with my truck, which comes with upgraded wheels, but they are still boring five-spoke full face steel wheels paired with small P245/70R16 tires and I think swapping out both would greatly improve the look of this truck. I don't know what widt the wheels are, but they are 16" in diameter, so if anyone could give me that info I'd really appreciate it. I's like to start with tires since they take the least amount of hassle to install. I'm looking for Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo's in P265/70R16 or even P265/75R16, but want to make sure that they will fi my current wheels until I can install some M/T Classic II's. Please let me know if you have any advice or info, thanks a lot!
