If you're not going to tow, you should have your PCM upgraded to high
performance. This will cost ~$500. The problem with this type of upgrade
is you have no other PCM to fall back on. They don't make a HP PCM for
4X4's that you can buy off the shelf. you're making ~190 rwhp right now.
15% of that is 28½ so you're looking for 219 rwhp. I don't think you can do
it without the PCM.
Intake $240
TB $400
PCM $500
Cat Back $300
MSD Ignition $130 but if you need offroad, then $212
MSD Wires $70
MSD Coil $35
This should net you at least 219 rwhp but it'll put you over $1500. This
assumes you install everything yourself also.

Subject: DML: More questions for Bernd and Ron (was Re: Exhaust
backpressure (TECH!))
Excellent info, thank you! One other question...
Looks like you recommend the "Q ship" look for the exhaust (single in /
single out through
stock location), which is just fine by me, as I prefer it. Which brand of
muffler do you think
would work best for my "quarter race" setup? I was thinking Dynomax Super
Turbo or
maybe an Ultra Flow. What about a Flowmaster 3 chamber? Gibson? Just
curious. I see
Ron likes the Borland stuff, which looks good but a little pricey - I am
budgeting about
$1500 or so of mad money for my little project, and would like to squeeze
out every
drop if I can ;-).
I'd like to have a goal of increasing rwhp and torque by about 15%.0 Do you
think this
goal is realistic given the mods I am planning (cat back, intake, TB,
ignition)? What has
proven to be realistic in your experience (Ron, you out there? Need your
feedback especially
as your your stock setup was very similar to mine).
One more: any ignition kits you guys swear by? Swear at? ;-)
Again, any and all help is greatly appreciated! Looking forward to joining
the "Fast4x4" club :-D.
