Mike,

Remove the TB Spacer (I tested one out in my '97 V6 and they make no
extra power at all).

What you can do is either install a factory V8 Throttle Body (with cable
to convert easily) or install a Fastman V6 Throttle Body. I also have a
set of JBA Headers sitting here (Brand New).

Hi Guys,
    I was wondering if anyone could offer input on how to get more
torque
from my 97 3.9 V-6,auto. I currently have some mods(Gibson side swept
cat-back, Power aid TB spacer, Airaid air intake) . These mods made a
noticable difference, but like always I was just looking for the next
step. I
use the Dak to tow my other Dakota to the track, so torque is most
imporant.
I don't really want to change the gears the 3.55s seem to be just right
at
60mph. I was thinking of a throttle body,any thoughts?
                                    Thanks guys,
