With these mods, you should be able to handle a whole lotta power. Just
make sure you always have enough fuel. You might have to go with larger

>>Well, I figured I'm going to be buying a s/c for my Durango in about 6-8
months. I'm looking for suggestions on anything I should do to "build-up"
my engine to handle the added power. Since this is my daily driver I want
to make sure nothing breaks on me.
