what is the best or i should say quickest, least complicated and inexpensive way to acheive right around 250hp on my 95 12V cummins? 4" turbo back no cat exhaust and afe air intake in the works, so what does that put me at? how much more to go? should i just get the #10 or #8 fuel plate?

Tate

10 plate will do it.

Exhaust and intake really don't add any power, especially if you haven't added any fuel.

10 plate seems very popular, y not the 8?? what are the stock injectors and pump good for?

infidel

Stock injectors and pump are easily good for 350hp.
250 is easy with just a plate but a 3 or 4k GSK will make it even better.
#10 is by far the most popular plate or if you don't tow and don't mind watching the pyro all the time just take the stock plate out or grind it to a #100 or #0.

ok, and what exactly is a 3 or 4k GSK?

shorthair

3,000 - 4,000 RPM Governor Spring Kit

i see. i would have to do valve spring upgrades and other work if i used the 4k kit? dont wanna do much internal work yet, just get it to where the internals are still safe and still get as much power as i can out of it. what size of fuel plate can i get away with without getting different injectors?

Tate

Take the plate out.

if you have a stock automatic tranny dont bother going any further than a 10 plate or your going to need a converter in a hurry..

shorthair

No as it says the governor spring kit is installed in the injection pump & allows a higher RPM before shutting off the fuel.

infidel

A 3k GSK doesn't require changing the valve springs and costs the same as a 4k.
Most people buy the 4k and just leave the extra spring that makes the difference between 3 and 4k out.
This way you can upgrade to 4k later if you wish.

mighty diesel sells the 4k pacbrake kit for $88.50, cheapest ive seen.. just leave the smallest springs out for 3k..
