Wanting more power out of high miles motor

Do you have any suggestions on what I should do. I have 65k on the thing now.
I have the air intake and a tune. I would like to add another 100 hp or something.

Do not want to do a super charger since I live in a remote area and the motors high miles. Do not have anyone here that can really work on it..

Not apposed to an engine swap

Tune and headers, wont get you 100 hp but will get you something

Livernois heads and cams and their tune should get you there!

When it comes to getting more power...there are always 2 questions that need to be answered first...

How much power do you want?

How much do you want to spend?

For a 100 HP gain on a stock engine with 65k on it...that's gonna be a substantial amount.

Send it to Rasco and have him re-build your engine like the on in Smurfrunner

Any idea on ball park cost? Do you think its worth putting that on a high mile motor?

Assembled heads are $5k...not installed or tuned...roughly.

At 65k...I would rebuild totally...but that's just me.

Then again...my goal is to have a full blown prerunner as a daily driver

Hate to tell you but 65k miles isn't squat as these engines now days can run to 200k miles before needing internal work. I had my last 6.8 V10 at 178k miles and only thing it needed was a new coil pack on #8 cylinder. Big mistake to open it up if its not broke. Only way you're getting another 100 hp supercharger or turbo

65000 is not a high mileage motor. Unless you have beat it to death it's hardly broken in. I've had lots of motors north of 100k that lived on with power adders. I guess it depends on how you are gonna treat it.

high quality fuel, and good maintenance my friends

We have a very nice twin turbo kit that will add over 150 rwhp
