Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Need more power

[ralbert]

Owen 99 3500 w/355 auto. Just returned from 3 months in Alaska and truck worked great with 11'3" Lance truck camper. Came home to order 04 ho 6sp and NY will not permit the order. Now I bought a 32' 5th that weighs 10,000. I have 55M miles on present truck. Gauges, Double deep, and Exhaust brake . I am thinking about 275's or a box along with maybe a ATS Auto up grade. What are your throughts on the subjects? I think that without transmission upgrade maybe anything bigger than 275's might not be the best for that auto. Thanks Rob

I suggest a fuel pressure gauge from Westach.

Also a set of 275 injectors and an Edge EZ, but at the same time you should also upgrade your transmission to handle the extra power.



ATS triplelok and a lockup controller that will work with your Exhaust brake (ATS makes this), and an ATS valve body.

I dont know the current state of your stock transmission, you should probably have it gone through and replace what is needed.



You will have an awesome tow rig, with egt's still in check.

I would also suggest checking into the Scotty 2 to help with EGT's.

I do have a westech Fuel,egt/boost and transmission temp gauges on A-pillow. This Auto has never been above 180 degrees and never abused. It is also a 6x6.
