    50% hp maybe but what about torque?

    If you started at 1350, probably somewhere around 1700

    Just talked to Pete at Pittsburgh power said he could go an extra 50-60 hp and get a couple hundred more in torque. He said I need to get a pyro gauge first to make sure everything is ok before the truck leaves the shop.

    Only major difference between the 11.1 and 12.7 is length of the stroke bullet proof and fuel efficiency great engine

    Yeah but don't think you can throw to much hp at the 11.1 though.

    Just don't know if it can handle to much extra power because it's a smaller engine Pittsburgh power said 50-60 hp and probably gain a couple hundred lbs of torque. They want me to install a pyro gauge before it leaves the shop to make sure the temp is ok.

    It has slightly less stroke than a 12.7 .otherwise it's pretty much the exact same engine. So what is going to fail?

    They're only turning it up 50-60hp because that's the standard 15-18% over in the ecm. Anything after that and the efficiency decreases. You can change all the hard parts I already mentioned to get more .
