No problems Kyle.
Cam, mild head work, 50mm TB, headers, a good cold-air intake system,
better flowing exhaust system, and the standard mods (180 t'stat,
autolite 3923's). We yanked an easy 35HP out of the engine this way and
with the aftermarket fuel controller (with larger injectors)...it's VERY
torquey and the powerband comes on from right about 1800 to 4900rpm.
After the initial Dyno (before fine tuning the SAFC-II): 176RWHP /
218RWTQ - That comes out to about 211HP/261TQ at the crank.

Subject: DML: How to make some "REAL" power?
Ok, with the firestorm of what works and what doesn't for squeezing what
power is possible from our Magnum engines, I'm going to make up a "dream
list" of what I would like to do to my V6 truck to make MO POWER - short
of forced induction and going on the bottle... :-) Heck, I might even
do some of it. Part of the problem is, being a V6, I don't know where
to go with the engine. Things like MP computers and the M1 2bbl aren't
going to work, so where do I turn to make real power?
I figure I'll listen to what Ray Block has to say, since he's been
there, done that, so to speak. But, anyone's more than welcome to post
their modification results.
Thanks gents.
