Thanks for any info, Paul

Check out TS Performance MPHD. Gain 20 - 30% more HP and Torque. 10-20% better fuel economy. What engine are you running?

Google "Pittsburgh Power" and "Bruce Mallinson". That's the only guy I trust for extra power AND fuel economy. He runs a monthly column in one of the truck papers, too.

i thought after 515 hp in a Detroit you had to start changing internal parts?

Well if you read the ads Pittsburgh Power and Bully dog said there would be an increase in hp and torque, but that's why I'am asking if anyone has had any experience with them in the real world. I have had this truck for three years.
Most of the time 515hp is plenty of power, but you never have to much.
My last truck was 1994 IH 9300 with a 3406 Cat and it was turned up to 475 (more or less) and the MPG runs at 5.5 to 6.5 with both trucks .
