i can't wait

i have just purchased my 92 dodge. i am trying to hold off on adjusting the fuel pump until i see if their are any major mechanical problems and until i could get some gauges.
with that being said my truck is a dog of the line. what do you think i could do to give it some pep before i can get some gauges. (i have read thru the sticky) im thinking adjusting the low boost fuel delivery screw. any thoughts? eventually i plan i turning her up, turbo mods, ect... just want some oppinions from people who have done it

Quite sluggish, They are dead. But for some reason they are still cool.

You have a 92 model those came with a 21cm exhaust housings. Replace it with a 16cm. It will help with low speed spool up.

Auto or stick? If it's a stick go with a 12 cm wastegated housing.

The stock 21 cm housing on the '92's are way too big, the truck will be doggy off the line no matter what you do to the pump unless you get rid of that housing.

Go ahead and run it since you have it. It will run great.

Until you go to bigger injectors the 12 cm will flow all you need. You got it, use it. It will be like getting a whole new truck without even touching the pump.
