Ive been reading this forum for awhile and finally decided to become a member.

I just sold my 99 24v with only 126,000 miles on it in hopes to make a reliable street/pull truck dont know if that possible yet but ive read on the site where some people have 500hp daily drivers. I got 12,000 out of the truck so looking to where i should invest it to where i get the biggest bang for my buck and i believe that a 12v is the way to go.

First question is about a turbo that i was going to use.

I have a hx40w 8 blade turbo will that be any better to use than the stock turbo?

Second

If i go with industrial injection bosch 300hp injectors, #100 fuel plate, slide my afc forward, and crank the star wheel, and grind the foot flat, use the hx40w, run a full 4" exhaust straight piped, and a bhaf. Of cours full set of gauges. Am i headed in the right direction is there anything you guys would do different? FIRE AWAY

Thanks

ps am i anywhere close to 500 horse if i were to use this set up

 

hx40 will be a hot 500hp. II injectors are over priced i would look at some sdx 5x14's there great, may wanna look into a different charger for that power level.

 

I agree ... SDX 5x12's are really good. Look into a different tubro as well.

 

I can't see your sig using the app for my phone, so I can't see what trans you have. If its an auto, look into a good freshening, shift kit and upgraded servos/struts. A good single disc convertor, or for peace of mind; a triple disc convertor. If its a manual; pull your flywheel get it resurfaced and look into southbend or valair. Everyone seems to have issues with one or the other; but those two are far more reputable than anyone else.

A hx40w 6 blade is good for 70lbs/min tops. Average diesel hp per lb is about 6hp to 1lb/min that's at the wheels. So if you get a 6blade say from bae turbo system you would be close to your goal. I'm building a h1e hybrid 7 blade right now, but I'll be happy with 380 at the wheels in my 12v 3rd gen 1500

 

in all honesty if you have an hx40 laying around you will make more power with it over your hx35.(is it a better charger? no not really its just a bit bigger) it for sure has its flaws and drawbacks but your price is right. x3 or 4 or what ever # i am on the injectors keep looking SDX's are great and much cheaper. get some gov springs while your workin on her to wake it up.
