TB's normally will show about 8-10RWHP more. However, both will
compliment each other.

Okay John.
Now you have me intrigued. Changing out the throttle body would be
substantially easier. What are we looking at cost-wise as compared to
the $400 rocker upgrade kit? I'm just looking at a single upgrade.
Computer upgrade is out. I don't want to be strapped to premium fuel,
and I do sometimes pull a trailer. That would not be a good choice.
Bernd stated that I could see 15-18 RWHP with the rocker upgrade. Do you
think that a throttle body upgrade could equal or better that number?
If that's truly the case, maybe I SHOULD be considering other options.
That's where this list sure comes in handy !!!! I'm open to other DML
comments from owners of GenIII Daks with a 5.2L/auto package. Okay
guys. John seems to be MORE than impressed with this approach. I'm open
for suggestions of what to look for/what to avoid. Would this require me
to have to change out or modfy
brackets, linkages, or anything else? Thanks all.
