Most of it was fuel pressure being turned up. Not so much HP. Would cause us to go from 4 mpg to 2 mpg.

What Im saying is...its a 400 cat. Back then we did not have the same tech as we do today. So, we turned up the fuel to go faster down the road. U prob had work done to it with the tech today, but its still a 400 cat. The 500 was a 3406E in the 90's along with the 600. Just saying. Be safe out there drivers.

Hey hwy I didn't say it was or was not a 400. I was just saying what hp I had. We did not add rounds of fuel to go faster. Sounds to me like you needed a tuner. We had pump work and timing. Pretty easy to get 125 added hp. Truck would smoke a little between shifts but not rollin coal. Pyro would run between 900 and 950. Transmission and rear temp I had to watch. MPG was 4 to 4.5 and that was with the hammer down. The V-8 would get between 3.5 and 4 MPG. Just saying. Have a great day.Last edited: Mar 31, 2013
Container Hauler and MJ1657 Thank this. -
Actually getting a 3406A to 500hp is quite a feat. It's not easy even in this day and age.
Also, there was a 3408 truck engine that was rated at 503hp from the factory. -
My new ride with the old company.
