K&N kit they are 200.00 at summit. next put on fast man throttle body, they put on a cat-back exhaust like a flowmaster american thunder. If still have money left get a mopar HP pcm and then Harland sharp 1.7 roller rockers. This combination will pass e-check, lay rubber all day long and sound great. don't listen to anybody elese, my way is the best. If anybody says different they are faggots. Don't put headers on it , they suck.

fastman tb is like 51mm, but who cares, it works great and is the cheapest one out. Don't listen to ANYbodys HP claims. they are just claims and usually they are quoted at redline. Everything I wrote before increases HP through-out the rpm range. Beware of other high priced intake, TB, and exhaust systems that claim 25 hp over stock.
they are a bunch of pole-smokers

actually, headers are the single biggest improvement you can make, especially if you are pushing more air in the engine, you want to get it all out, its simple. while overly large headers may make you lose low end torque, the Mopar ones are fine, there is honestly no point to putting more air into the engine if you cant get it back out

Do all the intake tract stuff first, then do the exhaust mods. Intake tract includes heads...then do headers and true dual exhaust (not over 2.5" in diameter).
