Hey Ken,

By the looks of your sig, you've got most of the right goodies already.
Either the headers or the manifold would be a great compliment to your
performance additions.

The M1 is pretty sweet...I was just looking at TonyC's M1 again this
morning. It sure as hell looks like a high rise manifold, but it's the same
height as the factory unit. Of course, if you get the M1 ya' gotta put one
of Bruce's (F+B-Flowmetrics)throttle bodies on it! It's kind of like the
diamond on the wedding ring. (Damn, I'm having fun spending your money on
your Dak!) ;)

Also, it seems like I saw someone on here selling a Hughes stage 1 beer
barrel intake manifold used. Might be the right price, and then you could
get some headers too!

My advice on the headers is: whatever brand you decide on, be sure to get
them ceramic coated. Jet-Hot is REAL nice. Kind of pricey, but well worth
it in the long run. Unlike chrome or nickel plate, they don't turn blue or
rust. Plus, they really keep the temps down under the hood.

Best of luck on your performance upgrades. Be sure to let us know what you
end up with!

Later,
