Message:
I've had my dakota for about 2 1/2 years now, been making it look pretty, now im ready to make it hurt some feelings. only engine/exhaust mods i have so far are superchips programmer, stock 318 TB, k&n air filter (still in stock air box), flowmaster 50 series cat back. looking to upgrade for more performance but dont wanna use apiration or internal work (mainly looking for "bolt-on" things). i've noticed alot of people talking here, dodgetalk.com and on speedtweaks about autolite 3923's and 180 t-stats. the autolites i can get, but need a part number on the t-stat. any other suggestions are welcome. thanks

Aparently the people around here arent very willing to help new commers. guess i have to go elsewhere. thought a place like this would be great to learn from but when no one is willing to help me out i guess not.

1. Autolite 3923s don't add HP, makes no difference
2. 180 t-stat, see above
3. get a new air intake (K&N FIPK, etc), new TB (F&B), new headers (JBA)
4. no one is talking on speedtweaks, its long gone
5. don't be a prick, its saturday, people are out doing things

I think you'll find that most guys take the weekend off and don't respond. Post your message again on Monday or Tuesday.

Heres stuff that I put on that made a difference I could feel:
Mopar K&N w/ heat shield
headers
M1 2brl
52 mm TB
Stuff that didnt do much:
3923 plugs
180 stat
MSD
MP PCM
Gibson 3" cat back
cap n rotor
plug wires
The combo that seems to work well for alot of peeps:
K&N intake
50 or 52 mm TB
1.7 rockers
M1 2brl
headers
You gonna have to spend some $$$ if ya wanna go fast. The mods that take all day and require you to get yer hands dirty to put on are the ones that work.
hope this helps

The TBs most people are using are F&B or Fastman. I suppose there are other brands too.
F&B cost more , but you keep your stock TB and its all billet aluminum.
Fastman has the best price , you trade in your stock TB and the quality is great.
