I think that you'll fine that with an exhaust setup, the before and after
will be
more pronounced. My truck felt like it was running on 6 cyl (sorry 3.9
guys!)
once I went back to the stock SBEC.

Luckily, I've found a SHELL gas station selling 92 octane for $1.359....
That's
about 20-25 cents cheaper than the norm here in San Diego. I filled up
today
for $27.00, which is $3-8 cheaper than what it normally costs. Heck,
regular
unleaded was $1.169.... Maybe I'll switch back to my ... NAH.. I don't
think
so.

Drive a week with it, then switch back.. You'll then see and feel the
difference
(if it's anything like the '92-95 MP SBEC).

BTW:

    I had my brakes done at 66000 miles (new pads, turned the rotors). Now
at 81000 the rotors are warped again, but the pads are 95%.... Just like
what happened on my last Dakota. Turn the rotors once, then get ready
to replace them. I called Stillen to talk to them about the vented Dakota
rotors they sell. Complete setup (2-new rotors, and brake pads) run
$345.00 complete. This is a hub style rotor, so the bearings are included
with the rotor/studs complete. I am seriously thinking about getting this
setup and giving it a 'spin'. If I can squeeze 66000 out of it I would be
pleased. Anyone else looked at this setup??
