Unless you are doing some major mods to add power yours is fine. You wouldn't see any power benefits.

Please check one of the following boxes and give a budget. We can help.
  • There are inexpensive mods you can do to regain lost power from years, miles, and engineering - like the Hutch mod.
  • Most power restorations are adorned with more green than a tree, like fixing exhaust leaks.
  • When it comes to power-up mods, there are inexpensive tricks you can play - like the red line.
  • If your talking substantial power-ups - the 7.3L can really deliver, but you gotta really want it.
