Looking at the link, you're definitely right. However, there are some good parts in there, I would think. They're asking WAY too much for the throttle body. And it's itty bitty, too. A 52mm T/B is smaller than what's on my 3100 V6! They've got a 70mm on there for a 4.7...I would find out what it takes to retrofit that to your 5.9. I think I'd kind of pick and choose from some of that stuff, and go better where you can.

The headers, so long as the quality is decent, are a good price. They're raping you on the PCM, though I'm not a Mopar guy, but rather deal in the GM stuff. I would pass on the rockers, as a 1.6:1 ratio isn't much, even if factory is 1.5:1. Us GM 3800 guys get 1.9:1 setups.

Skip the cosmetic stuff, as it'll give away the sleeper aspect. Who needs performance valve covers?
