Achieving 250 hp.
#11
Ive got my pump turned up with a 3200 gov spring and a bully dog fuel pin, 75 hp injectors, HX35 turbo off of a '00 cummins, and a BHAF. Ive hardly ever seen my EGTs over 1000. Smokey if you just floor it but when the turbo lights it clears up real good and hardly even hazes. To me its good clean power. Do you have a trans cooler on your truck? It would help a ton for towing.

i'm not new to cummins, i'm new to first gens and non lock TC's. i didnt say i was going to go around "rolling coal" like a jack wagon. i want to familiarize myself with the VE pump and it's settings. and beable to tune it. the K&N will stay, and the trans/tc has about 5k miles on it. no boost leaks. i dont believe in throwing money at something for a solution. what pump mods, including a fuel pin # would you suggest? and would a smaller exhaust housing or an hx35 be a good solution? i have boost, egt, rpm, and trans temp gauges.

I had a K&N Filter in my 07 6.7L and it ate up the turbo at 100,000. Had it in there for about 30,000 miles but before that ran a stock filter up until 70,000 and changed it with every service at 5,000 then threw the K&N on and I did clean it and re oil it correctly it's just they suck if you live in the country. But for people who live in the city they are great but out here better keep your stock filter on. And these first gens filters are big enough I beleive enough air goes through them just change them out more often.

Brice is right. I've never had issues with a K&N, but I have seen them. They'll filter okay, but they come apart and end up in your turbo. I've also heard less than spectacular stories about the AFE. People running them have had way more silicon in their oil when they run a test, which means you're getting plenty of flow, but it's not filtering. The AFEs have worse reads than the stocker.
