        My newest recommendation on performance: wait for the MOPAR
performance
computer and see if it has worked out the strangle hold. The R/T
computer will adjust and suck the life out of virtually every bolt on so
that it runs as much like stock as possible. I have an R/T with JET II
module, 180 thermostat, electric fans, headers/y-pipe, and ported
throttle body. These should really add hp and to a certain extent do,
but I have raced similar "stock" vehicles and either barely won ('99
R/T) or lost (95 318 5spd w/ bolt-ons). I have run a best of 15.1 @ 90
mph, before headers/y-pipe and ported T/B. TX Motorplex opens 6 FEB 99.
I'll post the new times. Alan S.
