Need a little help
So I want to build up my truck just a little need some advice on whats best and safe for my truck and tranny. So I have been looking into a CFM+ intake manifold iv been hearning and reading tons of great things about this product. By adding this am I going to hurt my tranny by the + hp of this product? also been looking into fuel plat slide but iv read lots about how that can effect the tranny? What is the safest and least cost bang for a buck? Thanks for any help, I already have cold air intake, Exhaust, Also going to get a EGT gauge. :tu:
|
I've always heard that ur money is better spent somewhere else than the intake horn on a pretty much stock truck the factory one performs fine
|
x2. you can make a huge amount of power with the stock intake. your tranny need upgraded with the engine stock. PLAN FOR THIS. TC and VB
freebies for the engine. grind a fuel plate tune the afs with and do the washer flip you can turn the barrels (i said it) let the hate mail start. LOL shim your gov springs ( i wouldnt do this one) pretty cheap ones 4k gov springs ( by far and away the best bang for your buck. boost elbow. get your boost to 32ish lbs |
What all do I need with the Springs? and what kind of HP am I looking at getting with a set of 3k springs?
|
i cant put a HP number on it but it is a HUGE upgrade over stock. if you just do the 3ks you dont need to worry about valve springs or anything. hp is a way hard number to guess. HP is the rate at which an engine makes torque. every engine is different
|
Very true thank you for the great info. So would you do this over the intake manifold? or do both? is doing the springs sim to a fuel plat?
|
an intake does help but very very little in the grand scheem of things on these engines. they look nice if you want one buy one but its really not a hp adder.
the gov springs are more involved than a fuel plate but if your familiar with a few hand tools and take your time its not bad at all. |
So what would be a down fall of doing a boost elbow? turms of more than just adding a boost elbow. Would I be looking at more than just the 35 bucks for a elbow? and What are the benneys of a boost elbow. On the intake manifold im not set on one I just want a little more kick on my truck and just going thu all my options cost wise. not looking at spending lots of green backs. All your help is great thank you
|
you can get an elbow cheaper than that. and it raises your boost from 17-19psi to 30-35psi. thats a pretty big deal for $20! take you 10 min. to install it. the KICK will come with the gov springs. it will rev higher much faster
|
Okay awsome. Is there any danger of blowing stuff with that much psi on a stock cummins? or are these mods good to go with out adding other things to componsate. Im learning alot man thank you for all the help and info :tu:
