BHAF and free Perfomance adjustments

ohanahorse · 05-09-2008, 07:34 AM

Hi,
Have a K&N and thinking of going to the BHAF filter instead. Two questions-how much does it increase the noise and is the air increase enough to have to adjust the fuel flow to compensate.

Also, there are many treads (I've been chasing them) talking about free 12 valve adjustments to improve performance. Can someone respond with links to those with how to instructions, then they will all be in one thread (of course it will also help me too!!!)

Thanks, paul

Here is a page on the IP. A question, is the KDP tabbed and do you have gauges? If not DO IT FIRST!

Thanks for the tip...what gauges are mandatory..Mine is an underused underworked stock 3500. It's my first diesel and it's big purpose (other than being my midlife crisis) is to pull a three horse goose neck trailer (not long or hilly distances). I've heard boost, pyro, fuel pressure)...what is the recommendation?

EGT is a MUST, boost gauge is also a must if your going to play with boost too (which will have to be done eventually if your going to start poiring in the fuel)

KDP = Killer dowel pin

Check out the tech articles forum. loads of good stuff in there

fuel pressure is a really really good idea

I got my KDP kit from TST Products with good directions, check it out Dowel Pin Repair Kit for 94-98 - KDP 03
