Welcome Home!

-Set of Mach 2 injectors...http://mysite.verizon.net/res06gkt/page1.html
-Box of your choice....TST PM3...or an Edge Comp
http://www.tstproducts.com/
http://www.edgeproductsinc.com/dodge.html

These will get you to 400 hp, with controllability from the box (300-400 hp)

Of course you will need gauges, more air in...and more air out! And a new clutch at some point.

Check classifieds in header...some good buys there.

PS-I've never tried Banks stuff but many members seem to feel you can get more bang for your buck from other suppliers.

I'd second these EXACT recommendations, only I'd favor the Mach 1.5s over the Mach 2s. A little less heat and more MPG.

I'd also add that the TST excels in some cases, and the Edge is better in others. If you are thinking about towing, and towing HEAVY-- then get the TST. If not, the Edge will be great.


I'd suggest you stick to the 350hp point or thereabouts. This HP point is about the best bang/buck. At this point, you can keep the stock air intake (or go BHAF), and your stock exhaust is plenty. You can also stretch your stock turbo to this point. Sometimes your stock clutch will even hold-- mine did.

Consider this:
350hp= Comp (at lower levels) Mach 1.5s, and possible clutch= ~$1350--$2250
430hp= Comp, Mach 2s, hybrid turbo, fuel line kit, clutch, exhaust, and aftermarket intake= ($650+$800+$950+$120+$900+$400+$220)= $4040!

The first 100hp is the cheapest by far!

Question for ya Hohn off topic. I notice you have d25s with no axle disconnect ,are you getting any vibrations from the front drive shaft ??Thanks

 

None. I "broke in" my springs a bit though, so they have sagged about 1/2" and that reduces the anglularity.

Shoulda gone with KORE springs. Live and learn, I guess.
