Saving my money for more stuff...

Planned modifications:

As some of you know Mopar does not make a Perf. PCM for a 1997 Dakota 5.2L, 2WD, Federal emiss. truck, so I'm looking for a PCM upgrade (JET, Hypertech, anyone know which is best?) Port and polish heads, larger injectors, bigger cam, still thinking about other things too...
