Any 12 valve Cummins guys left out there?
Wondering what type of setup you run and what you tow. A few things I 've done that I couldn't live without now are my 2LOW kit and manual lockup switch. I also installed a speed controlled unlock...

I have one too. I bought it used three years ago with 272k. Now it's up to 307k miles. The engine hasn't been turned up at all so I"m still only putting out 180hp. Pulling the 5th wheel I lock out overdrive and let her roar.
Even thou I do like the sound of the old Cummins I would love to have a new quieter and much more powerfull one someday.
You could be pushing over 300hp for less than $100:
Grind your fuel plate down or even just take it off. - FREE
Advance the timing 16°. - FREE
Install 3k Gov spring kit - $79.99
Not recommended by me but if you want you can increase boost by restricting the waste gate by installing a boost elbow. - $4.
I wouldnt even consider injectors until you have done all this.
The above mods will REALLY wake that thing up. Adding after market injectors starts vetting you into the 400hp range.
All these mods are dependant upon a drivetrain sturdy enough to handle the increased torque.
