Hey Blake
You have the best year truck for shurrrrr (shhh watch the sparks fly here). I
have a 93 also and it runs fairly well. The mopar computer is a big plus but
requires the super unleaded fuel, if thats not a problem then it's worth the
loot. Second a K&N stock replacement filter and remove the deflector in front
of the air cleaner duct inlet in the right side of the grill. This route will
give you cooler air which is a big plus. Next Cat back exhaust, I went with a
home brew and a 3" Race Magnum muffler split to duals out the back with 2 1/2
" tail pipes. Don't even think about a after market ignition unless you will
be running Nitrous or Super Charger, I lost 2 tenths and 2 mph in the 1/4 with
a MSD and have seen similar results with the Jacobs. The stock igniton is more
than adequate for mild mods.
That should get you some good gains and with money left over.
Good luck with your truck.
Bill
