Some more power without being in the land of obnoxious smoke levels is a nice place to be.
    It has been turned up just a little... I don't remember what was done other than the "killer dowel pin" fix and I know the timing was slightly advanced and maybe bigger injectors, but I'm not 100%. It is right where I want it... no black smoke or very little and has more than enough power for me. If I baby it, I'm hoping the tranny and rearend will last a few years. That seems to be the problem with the cummins... building up the rest of the drivetrain to handle the torque.
