Default 94 Dually 454 no power
my tow rig is awesome. I love it...but- the TBI 454 needs to scream at 3500 RPM's to climb any hills with a load- any tricks to get some power out of a totally stock 90's 454??

Chris --

Think we had this discussion.... LOL

DIESEL DUDE!

No gas powered "tow trucks" are going to pull like a diesel. If they do - they're not going to last very long. You just can't beat 650 ft pounds of torque.

Heads, intake, cam and full exhaust really wake them up. From the factory they can't breath.
