How hard is it to find someone to do this? Cost (if it’s doable)?

A 2500 or one of the tiny diesels in a 1500?

Sounds like you need more EPA control and DEF

A good spoiler adds at least 50hp.

You talking about eliminating turbo lag so you can shoot across traffic or taking it to the drag strip?

Get a computer programmer - Bully Dog made a big difference in my F250.

I’d probably buy something with an engine bigger than 3.0 liters

Everyone knows a racing stripe adds 10hp at minimum

And a bed cover. Helps with MPG as well.

0-60 is 8.85 seconds.

You would need to brake spool the turbo in order to improve take off. The only way to improve the performance is to get it tuned.

Delete all the gay emission controls.

The government doesn’t have it on their trucks. Why should we?

Also get a K&N filter and a Vornado on the air intake. Most shops will not dyno after you do this bc it’s too much horsepower

Does it not have a sport mode which should keep the RPMs a little higher and change shift points. Not sure how drastic of a difference it would make.
