performance parts that give H.P. ?

I Got a 96' W a 318 Magnum.I think it has 245 HP. W flow master . Can anyone recomend Parts that will work ,without killing my wallet.$$$.
I heard of air spacer, and K&N Kit.. Has anyone done Electric Fans?Will they give me other problems?


Thanks :rofl:

I have a 94 with the 318. I put dual flowmaster super 40's and the K&N air intake kit on it. Noticed a small increase in power. Stock that motor is supposed to make 200 HP, so I'm probably at 220 or 230 tops. The only other thing I can think of is one of those computer programers. I would do it to mine but there only for 96 and up vechicles. Don't know about the electric fan, I don't know of anybody that has done that.

do not get the throttle body spacer. They dont work on fuel injected cars.

Will a throttle body spacer work on my '86 Ram with 318, and is it a good idea?

if its fuel injected no. If its got a carb then yes.

If you do try the elec. fans post the info here. I was looking into doing that as well.

I am getting the electric fan kit, its easy to install. Ill post pics as i do it, ive done it to a friends dodge diesel. Adds UP TO 30 hp and the kit is less than 500. Also the mopar performance computer and k&n air intake setup is good too.

Where did you get the kit from? I haven't been able to find any for dodge's.

220hp? i doubt it. MAYBE 220 under perfect driving conditions.

Summitt racing sells it. Its flex-a-lite and i think the number is 290. Im not 100 percent sure of the number, but i believe thats it. Its a universal setup, two 15 inch fans. It comes with a bunch of brackets. The hardest thing to do during that installation is relocate the overflow bottle and washer jar. Other than that, the instructions included are pretty helpfull.

You can doubt it all you want but you have no idea what else I've done to my truck.

The 318 makes 230 horse from the factory. I dunno what you guys are talking about.

I just looked it up and I was indeed wrong. The 318 makes 220 horse and the 360 makes 230. So my truck is probably in the 240 range.

I've got my Dodge Ram brochure right here.

318cid - 230hp@4400
360cid - 245hp@4000

And it says the SS/T's have a 250hp 360cid.

Ok you listed 2 mods. Unless you have more your not pushing 20 hp over stock. So unless you've added mods since then i will doubt and say you dont have 20 HP from an intake and exhaust.

The engine has been rebuilt, bored .020 over, bigger cam, new pistons. Still doubt it?

And I never said I gained 20 horse from those two things. I said there was a small increase in power from those two things. Guess I could have been more clear on that.

yeah i do, i think you would be more then 20 hp over stock, lol.

Is this (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=FLX%2D290&N=115&autoview=sku) the one? I look forward to hearing how you installed this and what the results are.

Speaking on electric fans....My buddy put a set of LS1 electric fans out of a camaro in his 94 Dodge Ram and bought a little thermostat setup at a parts store. Keeps the truck really cool and he only has about $80 in it. Might be worth looking into for you guys. I can get some pics of the fans if you guys are interested in seeing them. I do have some of his exterior pics handy.
