Well introductions are in order for a virgin here. Welcome to the forum by the way, before you get started by just jumping in. Until more is known... The cheapest fastest way to more power is: 1) Sell your current Mack truck 2) Buy another Mack with a bigger or more powerful engine and maybe a few more gears. 3) Cheapest Fastest way without knowing more of what you are talking about.👍 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54729-more-power/#findComment-408838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
880joe Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Buy you some bigger injectors from K&S Diesel out of Schofield WI they have 50 75 and 100hp upgrades run you about 90 dollars each Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54729-more-power/#findComment-408850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Exactly. Sell your truck that lacks the spec's you desire, and purchase another truck that is spec'd out like you want. In modifying your existing engine, you're going to damage it (not if....but when), and repair will not be "cheap". Back in the day, a 300 paired with a 9-speed was perfectly acceptable, with adequate power and impressive fuel savings.......and in my view still is. I assume money-saving fuel economy is important to you, and max GCW remains 80,000lb. If money was no object, you wouldn't be looking for a cheap option. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54729-more-power/#findComment-408851 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack Technician Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Without getting all drivetrain specs, and learning your limits, you can do an injector upgrade cheap and easy.
