Decision...
Ok. I want more out of my truck. I have two plans...
Plan 1.
I have 2 sets of Comp cams in my garage now, along with two sets of gears.. I would Jmod the tranny, intall the cams, and gears, along with taking the cats out and tuning it myself and of course dropping it with the FRPP 2/5 kit. This plan is cheap and will still give me a DD everyday and is safe. I don't need the truck SUPER fast as I have a mustang for that...but this I think would help wake it up and be fun as a DD...
Plan 2.
Leave it alone for now till I get my other DD up and running. Ex threw the clutch out in the 98 Wrangler...
THen start the build. I will leave the motor stock save for getting some PI cams and degreeing them in the motor. Then I will be building a small single turbo kit for it. Something that will make NO more than 400rwtq...maybe a few more. my build, my design, and pretty cheap. Not as cheap as the stuff above...but it will have way more power potential...which makes me NOT want to do it. I don't need to hang a rod out of this thing and lose my DD status. Not until I have my Mustang up and running and Jeep up and running again...THEN I might think about it. But even then...plan 1 is cheaper by far, and I have been trying to save money. I know I can have the turbo kit done for pretty cheap...but then there is injectors, MAF, hot side, wastegate, flanges...etc etc. All in all, I KNOW it will be more to do the turbo part...but I will have more HP and TQ...but at the risk of blowing the motor up...esp if I don't nail the tune, or get a bad batch of gas...cams, tune and bolt ons will not destroy the motor unless you don't know how to put cams in and degree them...option 1 is safe option...
Anyway. Thoughts? Sorry for the long post...just wanted to see what most would do on here...this forum is a little different than most mustang forums as far as making the truck fast...
Thanks
Matt
P.S. Labor is my labor. I do all my own work...so figure that in...
