power upgrade recommendations
Here's the scenario. I am installing a 91 intercooled waste gated 5.9 in my 85 ford F350 4x4 and want to boost the power a little but don't want to go crazy. I don't need big power for what I am doing with my truck, I want reliability and good fuel milage so if I can achieve 200-225hp and 450-500 on the torque I think that would work for me. My truck will have 3.55 gears with a NV4500 trans. I have read a lot of on bumping the power but not sure which route to take. do I turn the pump up a little and go with better injectors, swap out the H1C turbo for a larger unit, there are so many different things to do. I will be going with the 3 piece exhaust manifold and have a 4" exhaust system. I also have to buy an intercooler and was reading in the stickys from NadirPoint about installing an I/C in his dodge and was wondering what year ford I/C that was??? I am building from scratch so might as well do it right the 1st time.. Thanks for any suggestions and help...

If your gona change turbos get an HX 40, i don't think a 35 is much more than a 56mm wheel with a 14cm housing, it's not much of an upgrade for cool air for shure, i think they run better with a 35 but pretty hot.
The 60mm blows more/cooler air and with a 16 or 14 housing you have a pretty good turbo.
this is all my oppinion by the way, and some of my figgers are a bit cloudy.
