In order as you listed:
- No...offroading normally requires lower RPM's. Stick with the stock
pulley's to keep everything running up to par.
- Yes
- Yes
- Yes
- No (Again, lower RPM's for traversing rocks, holes, etc....unless
you're "mudding")
- Yes
- Your call on that one - I'd say stick with just a 50mm TB
- Yes
- Yes
If you look at most of the street/offroad engines built up out there,
they are built for bottom-end TQ, not top end. The ones with engines
setup for top-end are usually running high-speed offroad or mudding
(rpm's need to be kept up).
Everything else you already have is fine.

Subject: DML: 4x4 Performance grocery list... (Bernd?)
... for the grocery getter ;-).
- Underdrive pulleys (dunno if this is good for a 4x4 or not)
- Performance water pump (would want this to match up with the pulleys,
correct?)
- Accel 300+ CD ignition + coil
- Headers
- Y-Pipe upgrade
- Mopar torque converter (mild, so I can keep towing & four wheeling -
no Viper kits, please)
- TransGo shift kit
- M1 manifold for 2bbl throttle body
- 1.7 roller rockers
- Relocated IAT (have needed to do this for a -long- time)
Mods already installed that the above list needs to match up with:
- Hypertech Power Programmer III (Hypertech profile, 93 octane, +500 to
stock rev limiter, 125mph top speed limiter)
- Autolite 3923 plugs
- Brass cap & rotor
- 8mm JBA plug wires
- 180 deg. thermostat
- Intense Performance Stage II intake w/ 7" Powerstack cone filter (can
always get a bigger filter, but 7" is supposed to be able to run 600hp
setups)
- Homemade throttle body w/ S-Bolt (shaved/bored/radiused, no work done
on the throttle plates, shaft, or screws - will probably need to upgrade
this)
- passenger side radiator flap removed
- 3" single in/out custom catback w/ MagnaFlow Turbo XL muffler, stock
routing
Anyone out there run an aftermarket torque converter in their 4x4? How
about the TransGo in a 4x4? Particularly interested in any issues with
the NV242 (full time transfer case).
Anyone have any recommendations on the other items? Would I need to
upgrade my stock fuel injectors to FMS 19#, for example?
Thanks much for any and all info!
