Message:
What kind of throttle body upgrades are there for a 1999 dakota 4X4 Sport with a 5.2L. Where can I get them and will it help performance? Any drawbacks to upgrade the TB?

An upgrade to a larger throttle body will increase RWHP by about 15 and torque by about 30ft-lbs. I have been told that a stock or midly modified 5.2L should use a 50mm throttle body. you can find them here:

Thank LTU DAK, for the straight forward informative answer. Some people on this forum seem to just want to give cynical criticism, you actually gave me some real help. THANK YOU
