math isn't so good right now.... Been drink beers. But isnt the 22RE around 2400CC ????? That adds up to allot more than 95 HP

more cc does not necessarily mean more hp......
case in point: the ford explorer v8 is a 302 ci displacement (5000cc), it does not have as much hp as the ford mustang v8 also with a 302 (5000cc)

yes, that is 17-50% more hp... but how are you getting that much? it isnt something that adding a tornado to your truck is going to do.... it will give mroe power, but the menas you are using to get there may or may not be good... like this... say i have a 100 hp engine... well on this stock engine, i run a 100 shot of n2o anywyas, that engine cant handle it, and although its going to try, im going to blow the heck out of it.....

no im replacing the cam, the push rods, the rockers and adding a 2 inch exhaust all the way back. that will get me about 135 to 140 and then i might add a downey intake system and a new set or performance headers and that should get me over the 150 mark i hope.

thanks for the info on the push rods. im found something else im going to add im going to add a msd electronic ignition. i found an old man with the same year truck and model that add a new cam and rockers and 2 inch exhaust with the electronic igniton and he now has 140 horse power at the wheels he says he can smoke the tires in 1st gear and still burn them a little in 2nd gear.

I have a 22re built by LCEngineering that has 94mm pistons, porting and polishing on the head, oversized valves, performance cam, big bore throttle body, balanced, blueprinted, the whole nine yards all hooked up to headers, 2.25" exhaust, and managed by a jet chip ECU upgrade and I bet I am still on the shy side of 140hp.
If you really want to pony up, stick a 7mgte in there and really impress the neighbor kids on their tricycles.
