Hey,
My name is Zac. I just got a 94 Dakota club cab with a 3.9 auto with 40k on the clock( for free none the less_). I'm planning to do mods and want to add nitrous eventually, my short list looks like this:
-autolite 3923 plugs
-180 degree thermostat
-readjusted TPS (if necessary)
-homemade intake with relocated IAT sensor
-Ignition System w/new wires etc.
-Exhaust from cat back
-Throttle body
- Headers
- nitrous
Anythint that I left out that you think would be necessary? I've seen Intense's mods list.What are rockers...are you referring to rocker arms? Whats the purpose in that mod? What do you mean by induction? What does the purge kit do? Do you have to run 92 octane with the jet chip? Also, who makes the best TB-Magnum Performance, Fastman, or just get a v-8 TB? Finally, what Nitrous system are you running? Anything I've left out please let me know. Sorry this one is so long.
Zac

You have to remember one thing, everybody does things differently so all Im gonna tell you is the stuff I beleive in. Others may differ.
RR's have less friction than stockers, they are also stiffer so at higher RPM you keep truer ratio which opens the valves more completely.
Induction is usually the incomming air the the engine "cold air" is usually just air vented in from the outside of the truck, "forced" is pretty much what it says and usually reffers to turbo or super charger.
Purge kit makes sure the N2O line is free of air and that the next shot to hit the engine is proper. I dont use one and in my opinion you only really need one if your a serious racer especially in brackets or just wanna show off by purging next to a crowd of your friends, lol.
I dont have a Chip and dont waste your money on one if your getting N20. Anything that advances your timing usually requiers higher octane.
Those high dollar fancy TB's are nice but I have found a cleaned up V8 TB to be just as good.
Think also about better gearing and limited slip also think about body parts to lighten your Dak. Your Dak is pretty heavy and a after all you do only have a V6, not a torque monster.
Good luck.

sounds good fazdak...
horsepower gains are marginal if any between the V8 throttle body and the aftermarkets on a V6. The jet chip was nice and i used it with up to a 75 shot of nitrous but sold it when i jumped up to the 100 shot.
lol... i bet that list of mods under my name is WAY outdated
