How to let my 5.2 breath?? ANY OPINIONS

i was reading a thread and saw that the 318 can be a fire breather with the right mods cause it is so handicapped by air restriction.

Could anyone give me a list of the mods i can do to make my 5.2 to make it breath fire. Thanks

its not going to go fast lol. if you want your engine breath better, here some basic, cold air intake, header, full exhault system. doing all that before getting into port head....anyway I dont think you going to need do anything to the engine, do above, if you love speed and tear up street get cobra or camaro

It needs more than an intake and exhaust to get rid of the air flow restrictions.

Headers
Full 3" exhaust
Cold air intake
Computer reprogramming
Ported throttle body
Mopar Performance M1 intake manifold
Ignition tune up kit

Do all that and it will be quite quick.

Want more?

Aluminum heads
Roller rockers
Upgrade camshaft
Regear to 4:10 gears

Still more?

408 stroker engine

Not enough?

Trade in Jeep for Dodge Viper
