Just curious but I was wondering if there are tweaks that can be done to this motor for more pulling power when used in a heavy duty truck. I've read here all the upgrades done to stovebolts for more horsepower for lighter more performance oriented trucks but my thoughts are that this would be moving the power up the rev range and be taking away the low end end grunt a big truck needs that the stock motor has.

Living above 7,000 feet in elevation I've been thinking that if nothing else maybe a two barrel carburetor might make up for the lack of oxygen by additional air volume when pulling high mountain passes

The truck runs pretty good as is but if there's room for improvement..... grin
