Could always put in larger injectors on a stock tune. It woke my t444e up crazy good with just 180/100's. Smoked my at545. Now it's got 400/400's and rips like heck.

I have an identical truck to what your talking about and I completely understand where your coming from I am trying to get something done about it aswell I believe I just got a message from these guys so I'm honestly hoping that they can help me resolve my problems with mine because I love these old trucks they are what I started out in when I first started in the towing industry all the way to now that I have started out on my own they are all I look for when buying a truck because you can't beat them they are very slow but so reliable! I have a 1996 4700 t444e spicer 5sp and it's the 3rd one I've owned and the 7th I've drove in my lifetime and I just love them. I am in the process of trying to save 2 other trucks that I know are setting and going to waist aswell and I can't stand it I am on the owners buts trying to strike some kind of deal so I don't have to see them sit. One is an identical truck year model motor just with a 6+1 trans and the truck has a allumuminum carrier and mine has steel, also the other one is a 2000 4700 dt466e spicer 5sp that was a medium duty wrecker setup and they pulled the bed off and stuck it on a more modern chassis and the truck has been setting since then just going to shame with only 130k miles and apparently even a fairly fresh inframe on the motor. It may be the easier Truck to rescue, far as the 96 4700 with the t444e 6+1 truck I know that the people that have it said they had done work in recent years and the owners of the truck had gone out of business during the repairs and never came back for it and apparently left the bank holding the title to it so that one is gonna be a tuff one to rescue because it's gonna take making a deal with the lean holder and then making a deal with the people that have been holding it in storage for 5yrs or more on top of there repairs. But I'm really hoping to save them and have all of them Along with my truck now have this work done to them.

The starting HP on this particular application was 175 HP. This is the most common power level for the HEUI injected T444e and DT466 applications. The customer has since changed his turbo, exhaust, added an EGT gauge, had his 6th gear unlocked, and we've retuned the PCM to put his power levels where he can still maintain safe EGTs, even in the hills. It's at about 80 HP over stock which puts the total about 250 HP. This is about the limit of the injectors in this application anyway, so we're good. At some point, I think he's going to go with a larger injector to get a bit more power for better acceleration. At that point, it's just a matter of keeping an eye on the EGTs. To answer your other question, what year is your 4700? We've done many of those applications over the years. As long as it's '94 or later, we would have something for it. Just give us a shout.
