Warpman89 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I have a 1988 R688ST with the E6 350 hp. Is there a cheap way to increase the power possibly by turning up the injector pump, or is that not recommended?Also, I have the 12 speed mack tranny, does anyone know what model # it would be?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxville Truck Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 which injection pump do you have? Robert Bosch ??or American Bosch?? yes it is fairly easy to do, and only will cost your time... however 350 is about the max "reliable" continuous duty rating an e-6 should run at.... can you get more you bet you can, should you only if you want to do a rebuild sooner than you normally would.
