How do I get more horsepower out of my trucks engine?

Is it a gas or a Diesel?  Thie easiest way to think about HP. is this:  You need either air to go faster into the engine...or faster out of the engine.  Easy inexpensive fixes could be a cold air intake or a throttle body spacer.  These would allow air to enter your engine faster.  Another option is a more free flowing exhaust...sucking air out faster.  If you want to spend more money..a computer chip or programmer (you have to run premium gas if you have a gas vehicle)..or supercharger or turbo.  These are more expensive than the options above

USMANCA- If you don't have an answer then just shut the hell up and quit wasting space. \nAnyways, its going to be kinda hard b/c you're most likely going to have to modify the motor mounts and tranny mounts. And rearrange some of the other parts in the engine bay but it would definately work. You might want to go to a Chevy shop and see what they tell you as far as the logistics of what you're looking at. You might also want to switch the gears out in the diff. B/c of the weight of the truck taller gears will take the strain off the block.

Not sure what you are asking....but exhuast header will vary depending on the engine and type of header.  Typically you may gain up to 8-10 % performance.

you won't notice a difference with 5 hp gain, you want top end or bottom end speed, i suggest changing rear end gears for big torque gains, can make a little 4.6 boil those tires but not mess with factory engine components that are set for optimal engine life. e-mail me for  furhter help, jsconyers6401@charter.net

you will have to match to size of the turbos accordingly because the higher the boost the more strain u put on the motor i would start by having a talk to a shop that only sells turbo and they will help u mach the turbo for u

Change cam shafts, Put a blower on it, Turbo charge it.\nFree flow exhaust system.

well...\n\nlook for performance:\nheaders\nexhaust pipes\nmufflers\nintake manifold\nair filter\ndrivetrain pulleys\nfuel injectors\nthrottle body\nfuel pump\n\nsupercharging the motor always helps. =]\njuss make sure u upgrade ur brakes too, though. lol.

That 'Hard Luck' knows NOTHIN about cars!  By adding more air to your engine, your air-fuel mixture improves resulting in less fuel required to get the same if not better effect.  So, you get better fuel economy and possibly up to 10 extra ponies squeezed under the hood.  I have witnessed this first hand with our Honda fourwheeler after installing a K&N air filter and a custom Glass pack exaust. It sounds fricken AWESOME!

Not a good question. Power is related to the volume of fuel/air mixture.

You can get a new exhaust system, cold air intake, you can put in some fuel additives, you can also buy a programmer to reprogram your factory computer.  Just google your car and whatever addition you want to find a good retailer.

if the voltage rating of your motor is 460, you can really hook up to a 480 volts electric s=poer source. the maximum your motor can hanmdle is 460 = 10% of 460 whixh is 506 volts

depends on the horsepower

Well there is torque,torque pulls,horspower,well how much grunt does it make or,output of engine.It's about like thrust.The more you have the faster it will go,or the more it will pull.

Check out www.horsepowerfreaks.com  They will have the turbo you want or need.  Depending on how much you really want to spend on an import.  Good luck.

Put it in your front yard with a for sale sign, take the money and buy a Trans Am.\n\nIf you need advice on beefing it up...  Turbo Charger, lighten it up,  NOS, exhaust, Ignition System...   For more info contact Summit Racing.

Are you talking cubic inches or horse power or both\n\nIE you can get 408 hp from a 400ci with the right cam heads intake and carb.\n\nYou can also bore out an engine block to increase the cubic inches, IE bigger pistons and rings.\n\nAnd as the previous poster wrote you can make it a stroker motor

You can increase the flow of air into the engine by changing the air cleaner.\nPut on a momo pipe, add NOS system to the car for an extra 50-100 HP at the flip of a switch.
