no head work just studs had a ported exhuust on my last head and noticed no difference

What do you mean you can't run an aftermarket manifold in a Ford? I have an aftermarket 3 piece pulse exhaust manifold in mine and it fit just fine. I flipped the exhaust manifold upside down, an HX40 downpipe was a near perfect fit too, very little modding and it all fits great. I did have to use a spacer to fit the PhatShaft turbo clocked for a flipped manifold though...but it's the same spacer they use in the compound kits and they gave it to me for no charge when I ordered my turbo.

brandon, if your looking for a towing set up, this is what i would do, whether your 370s have the correct spray pattern or not. i would ditch them and go with SDX. definetly 5x12s and 5x14s would be to hot for towing. next i would try to find a set of 4:10 ring and pinions for your front and rear. i take it you have 3:55s? there are few guys looking to get rid of there 4:10s for 3:55s. thats what i did. i just met ztk7220 in indiana to swap gears straight up. i wanted 4:10s he wanted 3:55s. worked out great for both of us. finally, i would call industrial injections and see if you can send it your turbo to have it upgraded to the 64mm wheel and housing. that will give you more air. i was also going to suggest twins but if i remember your not to fond of them. thats just my .02 cents on how to make it a better tower with lower egts

The SDXs would probably help. But why don't you just change your plate, or do a custom grind and not let the heavy fueling really kick in until you're above your towing rpm? I'd still go with the SDXs anyway.

i couldnt get it to fit period since your running a different tranny then me the nv4500 is wider and wont allow the hx40 down pipe to go between the frame and tranny so i had to get an industrial manifold similar to the 3rd gen to get it low enough to go next to the tranny

i will try the other fuel plate. dan with building a house im not able to afford a set of sdx i would like to swap the nozzels from the 370 to something cooler i dont know wt\hat the issue is my boost aint the same either since the conversion for some reason i cant go over 20lbs in hard accel were in the dodge i could hit 40+ lbs

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

dan im not up for the idea of swaping my gears out i like the milage with the 354 373 may help but like i stated above i had more control over my egts in the dodge

Sounds like the Cummins is having some kind of adverse reaction from being stuck in that Ford!

i understand your situation brandon, what confuses me is about your boost tho, if your running that hott of egts, you have enough fuel, so why isnt your charger boosting like it should? boost leaks? wastegate?
