Actually, I am in the process of researching the possibility of Supercharging the 3.9 in my '97. So far I have been only reviewing the Paxton model that fits the 318. My friend has a '97 Ram with the 318 so I have been lucky to have an engine in which to compare measurments, notes, etc.

What ever mods I do I will be documenting them and posting them to my web site which is in seriously sad shape at the moment on account of the fact that I just lost a technician at work and now have to support 500 Internet customers all by myself!!! Yeeesh.. :)

Later All.
