Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) High HP and driveability

[JSmith]

I have read where the 12v in high HP situations causes concerns for driveability. ON slick roads, wet, snow, that you must be very careful or the front end will get passed by the rear end. At what HP level is this a concern? I understand that the 24v has the ability to control HP with a box, level 1,2,3,4,etc. Again, at what HP is there concern? Is there a way to control 12v HP from inside the cab? How much HP are you running?



Thanks for all replies, Jeff

Right foot. Like anything just learn what you can and can't do

I think I saw something about a star wheel adjuster cable that runs into the cab. That'd just change low end (preboost) fueling and smoke which you can also do with a calibrated right foot.

Thats the best adrvice right there. Learn to run a light foot on rainy/wet days. I mean, I could spin my truck around when I had less than 300 rwhp. It just doesn't take much for something with a light tail to spin. So just learn to control the speed urge and learn to read and drive YOUR truck.

Valet Switch and sliding the AFC all the way back to take out as much bottom end fueling as possible.
