a5redwing Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 The mechanic was asking me the other day "Why haven't you had your truck turned up yet?" I have a 355/380 e7 and I told him it was decent on power and blowing up that motor didn't seem like a good idea. He said that all you need is a new turbo and injectors $$$$$. Can I safely have it turned up a little +- 25 hp WITHOUT changing parts? Quote Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullfuel01 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 you can put a box in it. I bought a few from illinois dyno center. buy it from a different place their service is under 0 out of ten. I've seen one for sale on this site maybe 1-2 weeks ago.

But on paper your 355/380 puts out 1560 ft pounds of torque. If you bumped to 400 HP your torque would drop to 1460. You might want to stay where your at. Your engine now had the same tourque output as a 427. But to get bumped to a 427 or 460 HP it will involve turbo, injectors and remove camshaft and install an offset keyway in the cam gear to prevent overheating.
