3208 boost

[Gregory OConnor]

Jim, with the hill you have to run up and down, the best modification
to make is a ForSale sign. Tannys and cooling systems changed with
hp increases and the drivline retarder may not be matched for
driveline design. You would best ask someone with a 250hp rig to
run up and down that hill before you make any mods. That would give
you a feel of the added power and best case result. I love the
classic looks of the 82-35, and it would be nice if you were able to
make it powerfull enough to be safe on your hill.
