The old 12 Valve is getting a little tune up...

I just dropped my truck off this afternoon to get a much needed tune up. It's a 98 CTD 12 valve Quad cab 5 speed with 105K miles. I needed to have the KDP done as well as a new serp. belt and a new fuel solenoid boot installed. I recently replaced the fuel filter, rubber fuel lines, lift pump and a bunch of other crap.

Now I'm having a 4K spring kit installed, the fuel plate will get a little grinding, I'm having a 4" Magnaflow exhaust installed with no cat and a straight through muffler, having the timing set as well as adjusting the valves and the injector pump timing. He'll also turn up the injector pump and see how much power I can get out of it before I start eating up the stock clutch. I'm looking for a balance between decent power and reasonable EGT numbers, I know I can take it higher but I don't want to be past 1050 - 1100 when towing if at all possible.

Can't wait to get it back and feel the difference, she's been feeling very sluggish lately. :)

Your going to be kind of wierded out when you first drive your truck after you get it back. When I put the 3200 rpm spring in my first gen the sound of 3k rpm tripped me out! The timing takes some getting used to as well. With that exhaust kit you'll be able to hear your exhaust whether you want to or not!! :flipoff2:

This is that black 98 12v you bought a while back right? Nice to see people taking care of their Cummins! rattle on :smokin:
