mods for 94 22re p/u

[dally41888]

i have a 94 p/u with a 22re and i have a ram air intake and i was wondering what other mods i can do that are cheap. i recently put all new exhaust on but nothing fancy just correct stock pipes accept for an upgraded cat. help is greatly appreciated.

get a cherry bomb from checker, k&n filter.

cheap? get a flowmaster or whatever floats your boat. You cant expect much for little $$$ you get what you pay for. My suggestion would be get headers and better flowing exhaust and a fresh new gear 4.88

[dally41888]

yeh i was thinking a flowmaster. its not that i dont have the money its just i was trying to get it for the best price. where should i look for the gears?

[madtodaimax]

would a suspension upgrade be more worthwhile?

[dally41888]

yeh i was looking in to it. any ideas?

[madtodaimax]

i was thinking about going with a tokico setup, which costs about $300 (search google). customtacos has a lot of threads, one of which is listed in this forum.

is your truck 4x4 beacuse if it is the cheapest susp mods would be tweaking the torsion bars and getting bigger shackels and some good shocks idk about lowering

[dally41888]

no its 2wd

[rogerman]

well for 2wd its easy to drop the rear just get blocks uhh front im not too sure how they do it. control arms?(taco i think) or just put alot of weight in the front so it looks lower

[dally41888]

true. maybe just lower shocks in the front?

Lower shocks? Where did you come up with something like that? First, shocks don't do anything for ride height as they don't carry the load, the springs do.

Second, a lower, as you call it, will overextend and be history the first time the suspension travel maxes out.

The poster asked for help, not some lame brain know-nothing response. These forums are a great place to get ideas and knowledge but after reading some of the posts here it amazes me that some people can even pass the drivers test to get a license.

if someone asks for help please don't respond with guesses and know-nothing answers. It's always been my opinion that if you don't have first-hand knowledge about a posters question then don't respond with some nonsense response. But I guess some people just like to hear themself talk.

To answer your question, theres really not alot you can do to a 22R and gain massive performance. These trucks were not designed for speed and power. You can make some cosmetic changes, but as far performance, you will be throwing your money away. It's a 2-wheel drive truck not a Corvette. If you want it quicker then your best bet is to sink your money in a set of gears. Gas mileage will suffer a bit, and you'll lose a little top end speed, but it will be fun to buzz around town.

[dally41888]

yeh gears will prob be my next investment. and i was the poster and i meant springs not shocks.

[rogerman]

wheres your response to his question? All you said was negative give the poor guy a break hes askin for help and we all can learn somethin new. If no one responds the thread is useless.
