Im not sure on the HP numbers but i can tell you that you want to look into an Air Dog or Fass fuel set up before you get the box or injectors. And if you have an auto tranny i would look into upgrading that or if you have a manual then look into a clutch before you start pushin any HP at all. Make sure you protect your VP and tranny before you spend all your money on pushing fuel and fry one of them then your in a pinch to get it repaired. A VP44 will run you no less than a grand to replace and if you throw a clutch out or blow your auto tranny then your looking at some serious $ to get back on the road.

With a juice with attitute you will be limited to 1500egts so doing the chip and the injectors is gonna give you lots of power and smoke down low but you wont have much more top end than running the chip alone. You will have to go with a mild turbo to really unleash the power of those two mods. My truck would outrun a stock 06 duramax with a superchip on it and nothing else pushing 3.55 gearing Just FYI i guess haha. Hope that helps.

was this an update or something? I think my juice will go over that. if you turn the backdowns off you should not have this problem correct?
