Howdy all.... I have been lurking on the list for about 2 years now. I was
stationed over in Okinawa Japan when I first found it and was going to buy a
96, but when I saw them new 97's I new I had to have one.
A few people have done business with Jules (Magnum Performance) and although
not to happy with the service they were definitely happy with the products
they bought namely the throttle bodies. I remember them saying that there
was a definite increase in off the line acceleration. But the wait for
these things was more than a couple of months. I believe that once I get up
the money after my headers I'll chunk down some change for a throttle body.
Anyway, this is one heck of a list and I hope that it stays up for a very
long time.......Lots of good info here......

It sounds like you are talking about Jules' shop. He usually lurks
on the Dakota list and will surface occasionally to offer short
teasers like "Tested an 11-second Ram with MPI throttle
body last night" but then never offers details.
His shop is said to be sooo busy that there are trucks sitting
outside waiting for new TBIs.
About a year ago (before I dropped off the Dak list), there were
some folks who were very happy with the products they
received from Jules. I don't know if they are still on the list
or not. You may want to post another message...
Jules is not the only game in town. Check around before
sending your hard-earned money to any speed shop via
the mail.

p.s. I wish Kukooter and Sean Meldrum were still on the list.
They'd have something to add on this topic. I don't feel
comfortable speaking for them (putting words in their mouth).
