I believe all the upgrades for the 5.9 are the same as 318, except The flywheel on the standard shift ones!!!

Help again!!!!! I'm along the same lines as Christian. I've been reading all the postings trying to find the right way to get better performance from my Dakota. So far here is what I've come up with as I'm trying to not braek the bank. I own a 94 Dakota 4x4, 5sp, 5.2 L here is my list:

Low restriction air filter or FIPK,
PCM,
180 degree thermosthat,
1.7 roller rockers
Headers,
High flow cat,
high flow exhaust.

Reading all the info has given me a headache, there are too many options so please will someone tell me what is the best combination to get of the above equipment by name brand. Also, did I miss anything I should put on? The information I've read is that the cam I have should already be good enough. Thanks for the help.
