Default bought mods for the 1996 OBS

Ordered a 4" exhaust and Beans tuned TS chip for the 1996 stroker today im excited but damn do i miss tuning and wrenching on a cummins!

Hope these mods wake up the only ok stroker! Next is 255/85/16 tires and 3:55 gears for mpg. Getting 18 at 65 but id like that at closer to 75mph. Fingers crossed. I do have a small mod list already though .

Soon YEAR OR TWO: Hpop Stage 1 or 2 sticks Maybe sd electric fuel pump when/if mechanical fails Better pushrods, headlights, valve springs INNERCOOLER!!!!!

keep the original tires for milage. i know your thinking that a bigger tire will be like adding a higher rear gear, but i'd do a high gear and keep the less weight of the tires if it were me.
