Bernd,
>> If you going to run some injector cleaner through the tank, use the
Techron
(from a Chevron Station). <<
I'll give it a whirl.
>> The MSD box puts out multiple sparks below 3300RPM and also puts out a
"Hotter" single spark above 3300RPM. Most of us who run a MSD box have all
seen minor performance gains and major fuel economy gains (+1 - +4mpg on
the average). The MSD-6 (P/N# 6200) runs about $130.00 and is easy to
install. A higher performance coil is also recommended; Accell has a
direct bolt on and MSD recommends their Blaster-SS coil. Both are about
the same price - $35 - $40.00. <<
Sounds good - especially the mileage increase! Going to take me a while to
work my way up, though. Can I get the better coil before I get the MSD?
And should I upgrade my spark plugs and wires before that?
>> As for the air delivery, QuickD (Tony) has a very nice setup that bolts
right on to the truck without any modifications ($140.00??). K&N (or
Mopar) has the Gen-II system which runs about $200. You may also want to
look into budgeting for a modified Throttle Body. (QuickD, R&D, or Magnum
performance all have a good TB.) <<
Intake was going to be my first upgrade. I have air conditioner hose going
to the grille from the filter box right now. I cant' find a circular filter
(imagine the stock filter only round, not rectangular), or else I'd probably
put straight tubing from the grille to the air hat with a filter sandwitched
in there somewhere. My goal is to take from the grille and send to the
throttle body with as little interference as possible. A simple inexpensive
setup if I can just find a filter for it for cool air and mild ram... I
plan to get a TB too, but cannot afford it now. Saving for an MSD would
take a couple months by itself, and my brake pads could use replacing.
Darned budget! :-)
