A little more performance???

I have a bone stock W250 which could use a little perking up. I would like a little more low end and responsiveness. What would I benefit most from? I was investigating a set of Bosch injectors, but will I need more air to accompany them? Im not trying to race, but just create a more drivable truck. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I would look at the sticky for the instructions on some pump mods. But before you do that get some guages to tell what really going on with the truck. Welcome

The Bosch are good, but I like the POD's to. Its all up to you. wone of the cheapest upgrades is to use a 12cm3 exhaust housing. It will perk it up fast. they can be found used for next to nothing off of 94-02 rams. I would strongly recomend piro & boost guages. I know guys that dont have them but its just asking for a melt down if you run it hard or tow. K & N and AFE Pro guard 7 offer a filter for the stock box. I like the AFE (they were made for diesels and trap more dirt) but mine had a K&N when I got it. Make sure that you get one for a 93, they just press in the housing 89-92 has a rod that holds them to the cap, so the filter has a hole in it. Just remimber to have lots of fun.

4" exhaust turbo-back wakes these trucks up like you wouldn't believe. The stock exhaust is a joke.
