92 is obi system so you would need a flip chip like a SCT 6600 and custom tune

The truck intake flows better than the HO intake. In my honest opinion, porting the truck lower is a great way to go.

you want to shift when the truck is pulling the hardest... if you raise the shift points you might actually go slower....
