Chevy112488 - I would love to have a diesel, but can't afford it. I know they used to make a diesel conversion for late 70s early 80s 350 engines, but they were slow.

gm trucker - I am going to get a custom tune, but don't know how much it will help with torque. Maybe it will help alot. Hey Wheatley - any info on this?

 

Power programmers will assist. Hypertech is not a sophisticated programmer but it is the cheapest, adds about 10 lb ft. Superchips and Diablo are a bit more expensive but superchips has a program just for towing and Diablo is fully customizable though you may need a Mensa member to figure it out.

 

Yeah tuning is supposed to help torque a lot but I think smoke20 is looking for physical upgrades that increase torque. I too would rather push torque in my truck. If I wanted to top something out I'd drive my Camaro. Trucks are for pulling.... and the occasional drag strip run.

 

72charger - You are exactly right. I am not looking for topend, but to get there as fast as possible. Also to be able to dog out a rice burner while towing my boat. (If you look at old posts I beat 2 rice burners whie hauling a load of firewood in the bed.)

 

LOL! "I don't care who you are that's funny right there!"

 

Yeah they were a little upset, and really looked stupid. They tried me again at the next light and one guy sounded like his car was gonna blowup he had it reved so high at the line, so I beat him again.

 

LOL! That reminds me of the time I raced my friend in his Expedition with my OZ Lancer. We raced from about 35-40mph to about 75 and we just stayed neck and neck....... that ticked me off royally!! I then realized that rice sucks unless it's turbocharged.

 

yea but its funny to see these guys driving around like they got something to show off, just a waste of money their showing.
