Cheap / free tricks for horsepower / smoke???
I did a little research and couldn't come up with anything.... basically, I am wondering if there are any cheap tricks to get a little extra hp, smoke, and / or better acceleration? Of course, tricks that wont do any harm to the motor / truck....
Mostly just curious... I remember the first performance thing I did on my 98 12v was slide the fuel plate forward and adjusted the star wheel.. made a huge difference and thats what got me hooked on diesel performance..
Any interesting tricks? My truck is a 2007 Ram 3500 with 5.9 HO Cummins... 4spd auto
Thanks

There's not much you could do on a 3rd gen that's cheap... Since the fuel system is completely electronically controlled, you can't just turn it up like you could on a 1st gen.
The crank sensor mod basically moves the crank sensor slightly so that it advances the timing.

You can put a cold air intake in it for about $15. You can also take the muffler off. That and the tone ring are about it, but they'll get you more responsiveness and effeciency. It's noticable.
