long time no chat? arent you new?

Face it man, you've got a 2.9L, not gonna get much outta it. But, start with your basics, intake, and exhaust. Even an electric fan. Never done the chips, but I hear they're okay.

Welcome to FTE.

If you really want good power for the dollar, go for a 4.0L swap.

You can pop a distributor into the 4.0L block, which makes me wonder about using a 2.9L harness on that block. I think RPS had dicussion about that.....lost track since I have been gone a week.

Maybe a chip would make up for the 1.1L displacement difference with the sensors.
