"lunchtime mods"

I'm looking for a list of quick easy mods like the AIH delete to squeeze HP out of my truck. Does anyine have sugestions? Will disconnecting my "red wire" make any difference if I'm running a performance tune (Tipton chip) already?

I agree with JT,but, at a potential cost too longevity of your turbo shaft seals.
Running a bigger exhaust housing should help considerably.

True, but bigger exhaust housings aren't exactly quick and easy lunchtime mods.

That depends on your lunch time, doesn't it? In any case, take too much time and you will have all kinds of time to do your mods when the boss fires you.

You know, like 30 min little experimental tinker jobs. AIH delete, Kwik filter, redline removal, new turbo with 5in down pipe and turbo back 5in dual exaust into 5in stacks (lol), that sort of thing.

you could easily do the 3'' body lift in 30 minutes (45 at the max) to accomodate that 5'' downpipe....
