More power

[donthibo]

I have a used 1998 2500 12 valve 5. 9l that I recently purchased with 80000 miles. I am pulling an 8500lb 5th wheel with a GVW of 10300lbs. I have been down to 35mph on steep grades and would like more pulling power. Am looking at Banks Stinger-Plus kit and would like info positive or negative on it. Was also told that I could get about 90 hp from a fuel plate, pyrometer and performance manifold. Any help from personal experiences would be appreciated.

Wrong forum. The guys you want to talk to might not see it. Post it again on the "12 Valve Engine and Drivetrain (1994 - 1998)" forum and you will get more information and opinions than you can use. Personally I think Banks is way over priced for what you get.

Call Mark Chapple at TST. You will be amazed at the power in crease for under 300 bucks. He will also advise you what you need and dont need for fuel inj. ect.
Nice guy to talk to and great people to work with.

I would scratch the manifold idea... . like the other guys said, go with a torque plate and guages for now. The plate kit is by far the most bang for the buck. I have a 280hp plate and very pleased with it's performance. EGT's are not an issue unless pulling a long steep grade on my 94.

Donthibo, I tottaly agree with David..... Talk to Mark at TST as he said good people to talk to, I have a 1994 2500 with the %spd std and put in the 230/605 kit from TST I pull a 33ft 5er and the truck now kicks a**

You will not be sorry to installit but make sure you get the Pyro and boost gauges as well.

Good luck
