Hello everyone, this is my first post, hopefully I put it in the right area.

I just bought a 95 3500 DRW, Long Bed Club Cab 4x4 5spd, 4.10's. 16.5mpg mostly highway @ 60-65mph.

I bought it from a used car dealer who didnt know anything about it so I'm unsure of exactly what has been done to it but here's the mods that I can see:
-K&N intake & Banks Twin Ram, it has the WH1C turbo and it appears stock with stock wastegate (But I dont know too much about them).
-It must have a fuel plate since it can school bus in 3-5 gears up to 22250-2500 rpms or so.
-I suspect it has a 3k gsk, and maybe some pump mods or injectors, as well as adjusted wastegate. I only have a 30lb boost gauge and it pegs it easily. Pyro's at freeway cruising are at 600, but going up a 6% +/- grade flooring it, they only get up to 1000-1100.

Sorry for the long details but I'm looking for input on what you think it has for mods based off what I described, and more importantly where to go with my mods for more power & speed.

Welcome to DTR!
I may be a little slow- what does "school bus" mean?
Can you tell if the KDP has been done? If not, get it taken care of, before it can drop.

School Bus = smoke like a coal train.

I cant tell it it's been done. I have a lot of inspection tear down to do on it to see exactly whats been done.
