Default Turbo upgrade

was looking into turbo upgrade for my 97 12v and cant deside what would sute my goals best. what im looking to do is to have a 350hp to 450hp fun daily driver that spools fast, and a truck that can haul a 18,000lb 5th with out heat issuses. I've looked at the hx40/35 12cfm hybrid kit and turbonetics because it is ballbaring turbo that should spool faster and have better power capeobility. So what do you guy think would be the best turbo for my needs

Call E.D. they'll be able to get you all sorted out. A 62/65-13 or something around there.

As stated above 62/65/13, 68/68/13 would work out great for ya. Also check out BD's super B turbo, which is a 62/68/13 IIRC.

Spool up time will have alot to do with how well you have your pump tuned. If this still isn't enough you can port the exhaust manifold, head and install a cam.

There are better choices than DDP injectors I would go with a set of SDX 5x.012s
