How much HP & TQ have you guys been taking out of the 6,5 i do realize it's nowhere near the 6,6 but shouldn't you be able to get a reasonable amount of power from those workhorses ?

don't know on the cummings part but the turbo sounds like it's normal for a 6.5. good engine, and run threw anything

Ya the 6.5's are a little tuff to get extra power out of. You can play with them and get a inline plug to add power but your pretty limited.
Im not sure about the cummins. Im sure if yuo had the time there changeable but you'd have to change the wiring harness, computer, motor mounts and might be able to get a adapter for the trans.

Do a search for Heath Diesel. They are about the best there is in tuning the 6.2 and 6.5s. I am sure they could answer your question about the turbo too.

what do you mean by a inline plug... im new to the 6.5 and looking for some help....
They make a chip that I think you run inline in your trucks wiring harness and its suppose to add power. They use to be on ebay but I found them on another site.

Ill have to talk to my buddy. IIRC he had one for his 6.5 burban and he said it made a difference.
I know he put marine injectors in and it made a differnce.
