Its easy to turn them up. With a 90' you can make about 300whp/700+tq fairly easy. The 89-91 non intercooled trucks had larger injectors and when turned up can make more power on stock injectors. If you havent already found it check out dieseltruckresource.com. My screen name over there is pwrtripls1, just look in the first gen section. TONS of info.

Because I have a satalite office there, Pride Offshore. I go down from time to time to meet my guys off the rigs when they come to classes and such. Plus I go to meet with vendors for inspections on generators and traction motors.

And also to fish, then off to the brick house bar. lol

I was at the HOIST shoot weekend before last here in Katy. I know the frog legs your talking about, they are good. My boss is from Houma so when we meet up there the nights usualy turn into seafood, frog legs, and drink till you cant walk. lol

I dont think there is many better jobs in the world than being in the oil field.
