Oliver 88 cut tire class

I have an Oliver super 88 diesel that I built a couple years ago for stock class. I've been thinking about moving up to cut tire class. I think I'm gonna use a motor out of a 1850 Oliver. Does anyone have any ideas of how to get good power out of those motors?
 
Hello pulling 88,

Don't have an answer for you, but a question. What engine is in it now. There are some screaming DD at
the local tractor pull. Sound more like a v8 then a three cylinder engine, not stock of course,

Guido.
 
A few years ago some of the fellows around here ran LP into the air cleaner. I do not know if it helped except made a lot of smoke
 
Ok well we run an 88 gas with a bunch of mods where it would
never ever be considered stock. You said you had a diesel and
were wanting to switch to an 1850 engine. So you want info on a
diesel 1850 with the Perkins engine or are you going gas ?
1850 diesel is not a waukesha. We pull in what s called a light
enhanced class. Lots of competitive tractors. Have a buddy who
we go to the pulls with who has an 88 with an 880 engine.
Diesel. He put on a pump from a dt466 ih, along with different
lines ect. He also put on a charger. First one was too big,
and he put on a smaller one that would spool up right. He
thought he would beat us for sure. He didn't. Lots of smoke
and little power increase. I know this isn't answering you
question but you gave little info on how far you want to
go.pics of ours. 1952 88 283 cubes, engine and head work along
with many other "little tricks". Pulls open mph from 5500-.
6500 class between 3000- 4500 rpm.
