I have the cooling system mods and the bigger radiator.
OH and I Tinkered with the heads and intake and exhaust.
I ported the heads and intake, put larger exhaust with a big glass pack.
OH I also turned up the injection pump 25%.
And advanced it a few degrees.
This thing sounds like a box of glass marbles.
It will smoke the back tires without even trying.

I don't own much that is stock.
That is where the name came from.
Best friend gave me that name.

thats cool!.......Ive wanted to hop up mine but I keep hearing over and over that the bottom ends are not up to any serious modding......your approach seems sound.......make the engine a more efficient pump as opposed to forcing it to be more efficient with huge boost levels like the current Bully Dog, Edge etc for the Dmax Cummins and Ford

How much boost you running?......Im right at 10.....been told not to go any more.

I run up to 14 psi but that only happens when pulling my boat.
I see 5 psi at highway cruise and 10 psi if I get on it.

I see the signature at the bottom of your post.
Are you in HVAC?
I own a small HVAC company here in GR MI.
