 Subject: performance on a budget

Message:
Alright, alright. When income tax comes around I am going to invest no more than $1k towards performance parts for my 93 dak 3.9L. Believe it or not, it's got some pretty serious nut as it is now. But I need some opinions on what you guys think I should get for it. I'm lookin for more power.

First tune it up.
new plugs, wires, cap n rotor, fuel filter.
A performance chip will run you about $250.
A cold air induction will run you about $140.
underdrive pullies will run about $125.
A cat back exhaust system will run you between $150-$300 depending on the brand you choose.

Mopar1, what kind of mods to you have so far so that way we can give you ideas based on what you already have. that way we are not just making a stab at the air and telling you stuff that you already have.

Ok, I have a K&N filter, 355 rear end with a 3 inch exhaust that splits to 2 1/2 inch dual outlets after the muffler. Thats about it. It sounds like a smallblock v8 and runs strong. But I need the xtra ponies. Thanks for the advice guys! This website's great. I'll have to post a pic of my dak. It's got a 4 1/2 inch cowl and a set of fat tires in the rear.

sounds like a sweet ride. i also have a flowmaster 3"in/dual 2.5" out. i love the way that it sounds. i would recommend a cold air intake, bigger throttle body (check out my thread on custom throttle body boring), harland sharp roller rockers, and upgrade your plugs/wires/cap and rotor. that is a good place to start with. you could also get a superchip tuner. heck if you still have money after that, go for some 3.92 or 4.10 gears with a limited slip. that will help you put more power to the ground.

daveshotdako, there is no superchip tuner for 93 Dak. They start from 98. The only chip I found for GenII trucks is jet performance.

I don't have actual dyno numbers for jet to compare, but as a general feel - jet chip was the only mod which I actually felt perf improvement, unfortunately only after switching to 91 octane. The mpg also improved by 1-2 mpg. For MSD 6A+coil+wires+plugs: I actually did compared on dyno and it was +13hp/+11 lbft at the wheel, but I'm not sure if it was because of msd or because I did it on different dyno. Probably because of msd..

i believe that power change with the MSD. I did the MSD6a, 8.5 wires and blaster three coil all at the same time and i was impressed by the results. That also helped the MPG's a lot, too.
