What is the best way to increase engine performance to gain a little more horsepower and torque: K&N Air Filter, Entire Air Intake Uprade or complete Exhaust System Upgrade to SS? I have a 2003 DSII.

Check http://www.rpiv8.com/

Power is only limited by the money you want to spend or don''t.
You can call and they can let you know what will work for a 03.
They are 6 hrs ahead of central time zone, talk to Lisa.

Headers and a new exhaust system will give you very little if you are unable to move the additional air thru the engine.

we really shouldn`t remove the cat either here in OZ... but we shouldn`t speed and shouldn`t smoke or drink or go flat out down bush tracks that we don`t know inside out...but we do.. why? cause we can, and we enjoy it and unless your truck is on its roof not many people are going to notice and then if its on its roof you got bigger problems than a missing cat.or simply just smash the brick out of it and put it back on.
A 10 to 20 thou shave on the head and a good re-seat on the valves is a great and rather cheap way to boast compression instead of pulling half the motor down to put in a cam,

Way to many people have tried all these cheep fixes over the last couple of year with nothing to show for it.

Until you can get more fuel into the engine, nothing will help. You gotta open the valve smore and for longer and then, you have to worry about getting enough fuel into it and getting rid of the exhaust once you''ve burned it!

While there may be no substitute for displacement, a big cam and free-flowing exhaust will do wonders. Nowhere near bolt-on, but if you''re up for the work, the gains are there to be had, just don''t look for it to be quick, nor free.

This might help? I started a thread for this, but Im still waiting for everybody''s response. Im not sure if this is worth getting for the amount of power it''ll provide.
