Re: The Story Of A Cummins Suburban (Lots Of Pics)

Man, those pics are beautiful! That's your luck to find the only lot attendant in BFE too!

On power, you can't really compare a P-pump engine to a VE engine. VE's seem to make more torque than HP compared to a P pump engine. We have had a 94 160 p pump engine make 415hp with stock parts. Adjusted timing, some big tweaks to the injectors but with stock worn nozzles, and even a WH1c. It was super hot but it did it. Everyone of these engines reacts to different tweaks as well.

Nick's with a little bigger injectors, HX35W, and what else he's done is probably in the 250-275hp range. It could be up to 300hp. Who really knows though. I had a non intercooled engine to 325 and it's still going in Oregon. But, 300hp in one of these is plenty to get the job done and still affordable to drive and enjoy them.
