Howdy again. I've been getting antsy about playing with the truck again (as I frequently do). My attention has been on the bike, and possibly a project car for awhile, and now I'm back to the truck. I told my wife after I did the stacks I would be done for awhile, but I never was good at keeping automotive promises.
I would really like to get the truck up to around 500 ft/lb torque mark. At the wheels. What I am really interested in is getting some ideas from the guys with ALOT of experience with these trucks.. you know who you are.. to let me know what you think about power adders.
Stipulations:
-I don't think I have the time or money to add an IC.
-I don't want to change the turbo. It is the stock garrett turbo.
-I don't want to open the motor up.
-I dont think I have the time or money for any injection. But, then again, I don't really know what water injection would cost me.
That being said, how much power can I add without sacrificing ALOT of fuel mileage, reliability and longevity. Longevity is the big thing. The truck is about to turn 80,000 original miles, and I want to drive it for a long time.
So, can I turn out another 100 ft/lb. More or Less?? Shoot me some ideas with real world price numbers. I would love to see a detailed parts list....anyone feel like bench racing
