Default Couple of questions

Ok guys Ive got some things going through the old nogen and need some input. Im debating on wether to stack the juice with a smarty or add some bigger injectors whats yalls thought on this. If bigger injectors is the way to go what would be the biggest that would be suiteable for towing and daily driving? Now I know Im going to need more air which leads to my next question, what size turbo would I want to run with the juice and larger injectors. Thanks for the help

I wouldn't go over 100hp injectors on the stock HY35. Do the Injectors and Turbo at the same time. Either a Phat Shaft 62/65/14, 64/65/14 or Super Phat Shaft 62/71/14 or 64/71/14. Whats your power goals?

Probably around 400 to 450hp. Its very frequently that I do any towing I just dont want to over do it and then end up having to tow something heavy if you know what I mean

You would probably be better with a 62/14 if your going to be towing alot.

if he aint towing heavy all the time i think the 64 would be alright...and it gives him a little more room to grow

I am running what you want then. I have a s300 62/71/14 and ddp 110's. I had some 100hp jammer nozzles when I put out 440 to the rears. I believe I am making more now as I ran 12.9 at the track with the new setup. It tows well and I have an auto. My ddp's actually run way cleaner than my jammers did. 3 of my buddies switched over to ddp's and they are all much happier 2 with 24 valves and 1 12 valve. It's worth it to get a good set of sticks.

Default Off the subject Question

So I got some info on my truck from the Chrysler Customer Assistance Center and they said that the motor in my truck is the 5.9L TD Eng(ETC), but dodgeram.org says that the ETC engine didnt come out in 99 but in 01-02. So I wouldnt think that is it possible for a 99 model to have a 01 engine in it or would it?Here is the email that I recieved- Dear Andrew:
