making a 3.0 run better?
My dad bought a 1995 3.0 Auto extend cab a few months ago.
last night he drove my 4.0 auto and he couldn't believe how gutless his 3.0 seemed.
Are they any bolt on mods that would give him a little more power?
Intake suggestions?
Cat-back exhaust?
anything that will help will be apperciated.

I have a Gibson cat-back that I like, have heard good things about diablo chips and K&N makes quality intakes. Most brands are going to give you similar results, its more of a personel prefence thing.

Ken,
Why does MBT make a big difference? And what other kind of tubing would it come in?
Thanks,

Mandrel bent tubing keeps the full circular opening through the turns in the pipes. What is the benefit to that? More volume to allow exhaust gasses to exit without restriction.
The other type of tubing is pressure bent that flattens the pipes at turns which produces a restriction to the exhaust gasses.
In a 3" pressure bent pipe you only have 2.5 square inches of volume at the turns where as a mandrel bent pipe has 3.14 square inches of volume at the turns.
Mandrel bent pipes also reduce back pressure by up to 35% which can be good in lots of aplications.
Hope this helps.

Where did you get the parts from?
Can you e-mail me with a ball park price for each?
I think I need to start my collection of parts
