  One thing to consider is that you've probably got a weaker tranny,
since you've got the 2.5. You might be looking at swapping that out
also. (Or at least be ready for it to go...) :-) I don't know if
anything else on the 2.5 Dak is "weaker" than its 5.2 and 5.9 bretheren,
though. Anyone else know?) I've often thought that if I wanted to
build a really fast Dak, I'd snatch up a 4 cyl cheap and build from
there... Problem is that these Daks hold their value! Its hard
to find a cheap one. :-)
