yes i think the M 1 intake is from mopar. my truck also needed to be waken up. it was sluggish when i first got it. i put a flowmaster muffler, throttle body space "which was a waste of money" made a home made intake "that woke the truck up!" i just replace the plug wires and that helped alot as well. when i first got the truck i had a best 1/4 time of 16.4secs now i run a 15.8 and will do the 1/4 again since i got the plug wires and see if that helped any.

good to have another member and welcome to the site!! 8)

Might not be motor, but look into gear swap. My recent gear swap is easily the best "bang for the buck" thing I have done.

I did the 3.55 to 4.10 gear swap - wow - what a difference. Best bang for the buck like ID 4X4 said. And better gas mileage.
Wargz8, where in Florida are you?

Gotta love them on ramps!
