no prob...what chip do you have?
and u can throw away the tb spacer its not doing anything for u..
what year is your kota?? if its a 92 or 93 the headers are a waste of your money because in those years the manifolds were slightly larger gaining 5 horsepower..
if you're going to open up the block and if you have some money check out this site..hughesengines.com - they have a bunch of stuff like 1.7 or 1.6 roller rockers and cam set ups, also a new intake manifold will be a great mod...heres a tech article from that site that you should read

the chip is a JET stg2 i believe,and your right about the spacer i got it with the chip for $250,I think i got a good deal.I could tell a difference with the 160 degree t-stat.My model yr.1997.I got the 3.9 magnum,and it's stout enough,but now i don't drive the truck everyday,so i can work a little along as the $bread$ get's right.I'm gonna check that link out.I'm not really going for dragg'n power,but as i say that v-6 is stout as is.If i go inside what tranny and rear-end would i get,or would it be worth the trouble? thks again
