Who has done this to there D13? I am not looking to go extreme just looking to get more torque. Currently 425hp 1450tq with 665k 10 speed. Ideally looking to get 1650tq but care more about reliability. Would 1550tq be a better compromise? Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Also any recommendations on Dealership or a shop?
Torque/Hp bump up.

Volvo's engine software is their own and no one can just go in and change a few setting and bump it up
1st only a volvo dealer can do it.... no diesel doctor, no outside shop
2nd BIG BUCKS
the dealer will have to check with Volvo to see what all the specs are for your truck... max torque for things like the clutch, trans, diff's. u joint's everything.... cooling ability, turbo size.... takes a few days for them to check.... then the dealer can tell you what you can change it too... max hp for a d13 in a truck is 500 max torque is 1,750....
reliability should stay about the same..... Volvo woun't let you go over what your drive train can take
engine software upgrade run $500-$1500..... this is reprograming the ecm with all new software with the setting needed for it to run at the new level -
Maybe you should drive the vehicle as it was designed to be driven.
Then again....
You may want to buy a custom built 650 HP 2150 Lb tourque Cummins and drop it in a Glider.
