Headers are less than $500, the stock airbox is already a CAI and you can gut it, highflow cat, to name a few. For a good list of alot of mods look at the sticky at the top of the page.

Re: N/A 2.8 horsepower upgrades ??? cheap thanx
will cams and pistons and crank do anything significant or even worth the work? i read somewhere on here that the crank and rod/ pistons out of a 3.1 60* will work and stroke it to a 3.2 or something like that ?
----------
also what kind of hp do you think i would be making with a high compression motor opposed to turbo could i run reg gas with high compression motor?

Re: N/A 2.8 horsepower upgrades ??? cheap thanx
These are the same questions I have been asking. I have the same engine as you. I have the twin ram CAI and i gutted the air boxs and i can feel a lil difference. I plan to go with headers, new exhaust and hi-flow cat. I also thought about the chip, but I think it will come after I get the rest first.
I'm want sum ideas too so keep the posts coming!
