More fuel = more heat = shorter engine life and WAY more smoke.

You want more power then a turbo is the safest way to do it.

Folks have made their own setup fabbing a manifold and using a turbo from a 2.3 through about 2.5 gasser. The Chrysler, Volvo and Saab turbo's are commonly used.

Do search for "turbo"...very popular topic.

propane and or water/alcahol injection. both produce faster combustion speed, alowing you to burn more fuel. water/alcahol has the added benifit of cooling the intake charge. either can be combined with a turbo for even more power.

I had asked about adding a turbo to my 3B, and I recall someone saying the 13B-T manifold bolts on and they used a junkyard LeBaron turbo. I don't know what happens after that due to being new to the diesel world as well. Good luck.
