 I now have to pay to get my truck painted (so now I will get a dark blue,
 and hold off on the two white stripes up the top, like the ones on the cool
 looking Viper paint jobs) and for the tires. I found a place that will paint
 for $275, and I am sure decent tires will cost me $250. That leaves me w/
 $475 to spend. I am thinking I should get the following items, based on what
 you all have mentioned the most:
 1) K&N Air Filter ($29 from www.dccarcare.com)
 2) K&N FIPK ($110 from same place)
 3) Walker Dynomax cat back exhaust system ($125 not sure if that includes
 labor, or if I can put it on myself)
 4) Trans-Go Shift Kit ($100 - Mine shifts a 2100 RPM, and that kills me, so
 this is on thing I am definitely getting)
 5) 180 Thermostat ($20 w/ coolant and water)
 6) Use the $50 thats left, plus next weeks pay check ($300) and use to buy
 mopar computer, and 93 octance gas, which is about 93 cents a gallon.

Skip the regular K&N filter and get the K&N FIPK. You'll be glad you did. If I
were you I'd be careful what size exhaust you get. Alot of people have lost
low end torque going to a three inch cat back system.
