The diesel is gone and a beautiful 92 cabriolet digifant motor with 102k is
in its place.
I have the diesel tranny and run 4200 rpm at 70 mph.
It has the good GL exhaust 4-2-1 style manifold and mandrel bent custom
downpipe into a dynomax muffler.
The van runs great but still have to downshift to third on long grades.

The 92 cab digifant motor is rated at 92hp, I think due to the original
manifold.

What can I do to increase power on this thing.
