Message: heres what i have done on mine
5.9L Throttle Body (with the sensors and injectors off of the 5.2L Throttle Body)K&N Drop in filter, Removed the plastic baffle off the intake tube up next to the radiator (makes it a cold air/ram air intake), MSD blaster 2 coil.
Things you can do
roller rockers, port and polish the heads, Hokker Super Comp Full length headers (they are th only ones who make any headers for this year) Shift kit, gear change, duel exhaust, March racing pullies, bypass the A.I.R. pump and airconditioning, Stall converter, etc
we have more parts availible than the magnums because we are based on the old LA style 318's like what they used in charger etc.

Message: I upgraded mine by installing a rebuilt 93 5.2 Magnium engine and transmission. It was a lot of work but well worth it considering the results
