Of course I had gauges first. But with the exhaust and intake and never had a box on it, mine dynoed 317HP and 702 TQ. And from the factory it says 325 610 IIRC.

That is good better than when I dynoed with the bully dog. But I had a major exhaust problem owner before me put a 5 inch but keep stock muffler and cat and one hect of a bend in pipe. Got that all stright mpg jumped from 12-13 mpg to 16mpg.

Not sure what you mean by cheap, I consider this cheap for the power.

Diablo Puck/Predator Stack and Quad boost fooler - $451 (made #'s in my sig with Only this and other mods that are also in my sig)

amsoil nano filter or the BHAF either will be better than stock and each is under $100

remove the stock muffler and leave the resonator

For me...Definately! But my front stockers were clearly shot at 3 years and 50K miles. The front tires were cupping and it was all over the road when I was was on the freeway and hit a pothole. I could litterally feel the front end dancing side to side on me.
The fronts had a Chrysler emblem on them and also said Cofap made in Brazil. Cofap is Portuguese for crap

The new shocks made it ride 1000% better...at least in the front end. I have yet to put anything heavy in the back to keep the duals planted and make the shocks work

My truck is 2WD, so results on a 4X4 may vary, but IMO Bilsteins are top notch replacements.
