Question

Hey everyone I am a new Dodge owner. 2000 CC
4.7 I have a few mods but I am looking for more and I'm not sure where to look. I have seen a lot of postings for Magnum performance. Do they have a website? Any help from you experienced owners out there would be great! Thanks

Cool

Arawn, first of all , welcome! Now, about Magnum Performance, some people have had good luck dealing with them but a vast majority(including myself)have experienced terrible customer service and downright rudeness. To their credit, they do pruduce the finest quality custom throttle bodies. However, they are very expensive and they take forever(in some cases almost a year)to obtain. So unless you are a very patient, tolerant person and you are exclusively after a TBI, it would be best to go with any other parts house. If you are brave enough, here's Magnum's web address: www.fastdodge.com Also, remember not to confuse MAGNUM Performance with MOPAR performance. They are two completely different animals. Just my .02 hope this helps.

Jules at Magnum Performance has the best parts around, but they aren't cheap and take some time to produce. If you want custom performance parts, he is the way to go. As far as dealing with him, either you're a customer or not. If you're ready to buy, he'll work with you, but if you're a little wishy-washy....forget about it.

Arawn, I agree with everything Fastdak just said.I've had a Magnum Performance throttle body for about three years now and love it.If for any reason I needed another I'd spend the money and wait the wait for another one.


Fastdak, Do you have any idea who has good prices on 1.7 roller rockers.They're next on my list.

360Quad, I actually got mine from Jules with the upgraded pushrods and guides. You may as well get the Mopar Magnum valve covers too. They are pretty cool looking! The only thing I can tell you is to shop around on the internet and mail order catalogs. Try pricing KRC performance, Summit and Jegs. I think that KRC may have the best prices right now, but you'd do better to double check that. Good luck!
