Default 6.5 L needs more power

Aside from exhaust, intake and injectors; what can be done to get more power out of these engines. There are very few after market parts for these engines. Please help with suggestions. Thanks guys

What year do you have? If it is mechanical pump then you can turn the pump up. If its electronic you can get a after market ecm. You can turn the turbo up, or install a A-Team turbo on it.

they make water meth, propane, and if you really want it a nitrous system. call up Heath diesel. they will hook you up. but beware there not the strongest engines so you need to do a few things to toughen it up.

The truck is a 94 3500 hd, I use it for work only. I'm looking to get better mileage and just a bit more for the big hills and mountains here in NY state.

You have a electronic injection pump. I would put a ecm, turbo master, water injection, 4 inch exhaust, and a fluid damper just for add insurance. Or you could just call heath like woody said and they will take care of you.

How does the a team turbo sound in comparison to stock? Can this turbo go on an older 6.5 with mechanical pump?
