Heads are the most restricted area on most engine's, cam's can be good for both torque and HP depending on the design. Bigger TB's can be found on I think the 3.3 Chrysler diaper wagons and a couple other models (Raider TB is smaller then 52mm I think?) Their are a few 3.0 plenums that could potentially work on the raiders 3.0 but I think the 89 is the least restrictive from what I gather. other then DOHC models. Intake is a waist of time for a few reasons,
1.There is alot of design that goes into an OE intake system by guys far smarter and better paid then me.
2. all "cold air intake systems are actually "hot air systems" unless it routes to the exterior of the engine bay,(like most OE air boxes)
3. May as well be called a straw for wheelers.
4. This is the most important IT'S NOT A HONDA!
Any way enough on that, I was just wanting to build a bit more power now that its my only driver other then my Harley, and was wanting to do a few things I can tackle on a weekend. Just wanted to see if anybody has built power with yard parts.
Gearing I agree is probably that way to go, and I am looking for the GEN 2 rear axle at the yards actively. From what I remember GEN 2 axles can be found with lower gears then the GEN 1 M/T 3.0 rear end, Am I right? check the tag on the fire wall, Correct? plus locker,brakes ect, ect. that way I don't have to worry about over rev on the highway.
Once I finally get a new truck it will be full on rig.
and it wont matter. Oh one more thing and maybe I should start a new thread, but has anyone converted crank windows, to power? Got a pretty complete 84 monte at the yard with PWR windows. Got spoiled with my other car! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
