While we were pretty forthcoming with our 10-second, 1,000 hp goals for our 12-valve “Green Monster” project, it was hard not to do a few little things first. After all, ’94-to-’98 12-valve P-pump Dodges are some of the most sought-after, reliable trucks out there, even in slightly modified form.
For our first trick in the book, we’d take a look at turning up the fuel and installing governor springs to raise the engine’s rpm limit. This modification will be important later, because we’ll need a little extra engine speed to dial in the shifting on the transmission.
