what to do for more pulling power?

Hello, I currently have a basically stock 93. I really need to get a little more towing power out of this thing. What would you do for mods to get more power but still keep it safe for towing around 7000lbs? Thanks

Couple turns on the full power screw ought to do it.

Hello, it's an auto. I do have the bully dog fuel pin and the fuel screw turned in about 1/2 turn. Would injectors help with the stock size turbo and exhaust? If so what injectors do you recommend? I do plan on getting the exhaust swapped over to a stans system in the spring. Also will I be able to tell any difference with the 3200 spring? Thanks again

I would think injectors would raise your EGTs with a stcok turbo. You might try a smaller exhaust housing and a locking torque converter to put the power to the ground.

I'd try turning the fuel screw in more first...
Mine is 1/2 back from runaway and I've got plenty of power -
for now

turn the fuel screw up as far as your egts will let you, bump the timing and invest some money in trans to get the power to the ground.

3200 spring will help and is a NICE thing to have on a daily driver, throttle response will be like a lamborghini .
