What would work best for me?

[coalminer1022]

Truck;
92 3/4 ton, 3200 gov spring, auto, 3.55 gears, smoke screw turned a little, and power screw turned a little, boost and egt gauge.

My question is what would u do to my truck, i got a $1000 safety bonus check from work. (exhaust doesnt count, because that is gettin done this weekend)

SO what would u do?

[pulltilbroke]

I would put a converter in it and turn some screws

i agree with pulltillbroke , get the right one too... too little converter means it hurts the wallet twice, too much converter only once lol...

I would have to agree with the previous two. spending money on the drive train isn't fun, in my opinion, but it will be worth it when you add more power, and it will allow you to better use the power you have. I put a clutch in my truck before I spent any real money on anything that would add power. It kinda sucked at the time, but I don't have to worry about it now.

I would back that smoke screw back out, and like everyone else said, address your drivetrain. A Goerend converter wouls be realy nice in that thing.

Also, for $105 you can get the best fuel pin available for our trucks shipped to your door. If you're interested go on the DTR and PM member DennyT and ask about his fuel pin.

You said you have a boost and pyro, I would suggest a fuel pressure gauge since you want to turn the truck up, and a tranny temp gauge to keep the auto alive.

When you say exhaust, what exactly do you mean? 4" straight pipe, or are you going to run a muffler? It doesn't really matter, I'm just curious.

Actually, the times it hurts the wallet is virtually unlimited. You keep paying for it at the pump every time you fill up when you could have gotten 2-3mpg more with a good, tight torque converter.

good point ace, now we're thinking with our heads javascript:emoticon(':scratch:')

[coalminer1022]

im gonna go with a straight pipe..maybe 5" miter stacks.,..

Save your money here too. Grind your own. There are a bunch of threads on this on several sites.

You can do that, but I don't think you will find as much of a power gain with a heavily ground pin compared to a DennyT pin. I'm sure people will disagree, but a lot of people who went from a ground stock pin, to a DennyT pin, noticed a power gain. There are also dyno results to prove it. I'm sure there are many variables such as how heavily the pin is ground and other things, but on average the DennyT pin performed better.

Plus, if for some reason you want to go back to stock, you can just put the stock pin back in, unless you grind it of course...

Just take it out, turn it around, and put it back in. Done deal, stock pin.

I have been wondering about that.What would be the point of rotating the stock pin then? It wouldn't be technically"stock" if you ground it, and then rotate it right?

[PToombs]

You only grind 1 side, actually. The other side should still have the stock shape.
You can do what you want, I just don't see the need to spend $100 for something I can do myself. I've had good luck with mine, and many others have home ground pins too.
To each his own!

I always wondered if you could hard surface weld a pin. I had thought about filling in the shallowest side with weld and then grinding through the original pin into the weld on the back side for even more fuel than a stock pin ground. I have seen pictures of stock pins ground very thin. I am sure I would break mine. Thats the way my luck goes.

I know you only grind one side. I hear people talking about rotating the fuel pin, and getting more power, is it really that noticable? What side do you grind?
