I have a few questions you guys that have compound set ups on any year dmax. mpi or any other vendors how many of you are still on stock rods? and these set ups are they paired with the stock turbo or two new turbos. what are the sizes of the turbo or turbos? how many lbs per min of air do they flow at 3250 rpm (those of you that are tuning them with efi live?)whats your fuel econ like how dose the truck do for a dd application in the city? on the highway how many lbs of boost dose the truck see at 2000 rpm. any info would be sweet!!

thanks,
Kreig

Well you can get the kits for your stocker I see yo have a LLY you can also get them for a modified stocker. I wouldn't recomend them without Billet Rods or Studs. As far as airflow I don't know don't have a Duramax so I can't help there. But out of the big Three Diesels Duramax is the weakest and recomend to run Billet after 600 and thats coming from alot of DMAX Guys. Friend has a LLY with a Cheetah and at 500 he bent all 8 rods Spent the money now he doesn't worry about it but he is going to be Twinning it soon. With some MPI twins.

Alright Well I have seen and read some specs and talked to other people with them on their trucks on Another Forum. I know one guy is using his Stoker Kit with Mpi and is making over 20 MPG. Remember alot of people think you need a ton of fuel to make power WRONG. You need great Airflow it's not always Boost but pure CFM that leads to power. Bobo Is running them on his Look up Twin Everything on Youtube thats his truck. Smoker boys where running them but they have all gone to singles now. Theres so many different scenarios when building a Twin Kit and Tuning for all makes. That you really can't replicate someones kit and expect the same power or results. They have.

No you can not. Surprise just a little fuel and alot of air makes big boom with big POWER Some of your cleanest running Trucks are making Big Power. Now for P Pumps it's impossible to get this for some reson even without a smoke switch.

2500 speaking of which we need to get you some Rods and a set of MPI twins. Have you heard MPI twins with a Cheetah Secondary?
