<<<Ok, well, I figured since I'm dropping about $500 or so in getting my
Dakota fixed, figured I'd spend a bit on something that would actually make
it go faster :-) Electric fan was a though, but for $200 or so, and the
possibility of not enough cooling turned me away (for now anyway).. So, now
my thoughts are more along an M1 intake and/or headers. Am I correct in
thinking that the M1 intake is the one of choice for a 5.2? I think JBA
headers are the choice as well? Wondering where good place to buy each
would be (besides ebay, will check there too though) or suggestions on a
better upgrade for my current setup.. Also, about what would I expect from
each in the HP/TQ catagories? Thanks... Here's the good stuff now :-)>>>

The M-1 two barrel is a great setup and you definitely take better advantage
of it by freeing up your exhaust some more at the same time. JBA's are nice
headers. I've had Gibson's on a couple of my trucks too. And the Mopar
headers are always a good choice.

Shameless plug: I have a set of 96 and up Gibson Chrome headers that I'm
about to sell. They're on my '95 right now (I've just got the egr
disconnected). I'm just waiting to get that truck off the road and start the
408 transplant. Let me know off-list if you're interested. They've only got
about 1,000 miles on them. I'm hoping to have them pulled in the next couple
of weeks.
