Considering putting one of these on my 5.2L dakota, was wondering if anyone could give me good or bad words about it?

No it's not worth it IMO.

All I think it does is bump up timing a little so you have to run 91-93 oct gas (don't take my word for it). You'll gain maybe 5HP from it, money would be better spent on something else.

then recommend something that would be better lol. i'm looking to not have to rip into the engine yet and do anything major as of now. as of now i've got headers, custom y-pipe and 3" full down to a flowmaster 40 series. Ordered a new CAI and getting a throttle body off a 02' r/t dakota friday. i'm looking for easier mods that i can always take off and or re-sell. after all this is done next step is the supercharger.

all but the CAI(cold air intake) and brake's i have lol. then again brake's don't help much with performance at least not in how i use em' which i hardly race. i think i might find a nice carbon hood though and ditch some weight next.

only kind of electronic upgrades you'll need are fuel management units and that's only if you have aftermarket parts installed

PLEASE DONT DoO THIS... wtf u got a SUV that weights 2 times my car... and its american not a jap car. DONT try to "trick" it out... please dont.

tires are going gone soon as i'm trying to go with some 20"s b/c as i said i'm not racing all the time, race tires come later this year with the supercharger and such. the only reason i'd do the cf hood is it'd save me a lot of weight and i found one that looked nice. if my truck weighs double what your car weighs then you have one light *** car as it only weighs 3500 pounds.

and im picking up a 92 Honda civic hatchback... so yeah its pretty light easy too mod

Look into some suspension work since you already got an exhaust. If you are going to get a SC later you'll need it.

curb weigh on that camry is 3120 so you're 400lbs lighter, and on that 92 hatch it's about 2300 so you've got me by 1200 there. again, that ain't half nor anywhere near. dakota's aren't horribly heavy which is the only reason i'd bother making it faster.

You know I could use some new BFG DR's for the goat? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Depends on what you want to do. Interested in lowering it some? Some of the first things I like to do/look into is new tires, sway bars, shocks and maybe springs.

If I were you I would look into sway bars first (you said something about tires up there). Then if you want to lower it I would look into doing that and new shocks. I'm using Hotchkis is a brand I would suggest.
