You can also look at my website for ideas for your 3.9, everything I have on
mine can be applied to a NA 3.9, or used with a mild NOS kit.
I'm BIG on NOS on a 3.9, most V8 kits can be adapted to a 3.9 and with some
minor upgrades can give big results!
My plans will more than likely result in a page on my site with tips and
tricks for moding a 3.9,5.2,5.9 Magnum......
And I'll just provide some consulting services to guy's that need idea's or
where to go find the parts that will work....
Check www.scsilverdak.com for the list of parts I have on my 3.9 along with
my dyno pages, you'll see about what you can expect with similar parts
combinations.....
