Box all the way down I am at 500HP. And it drives like a dream.

I am running some FireBallPro 200 specials. These are just tweaked for testing purposes. I am running twins, so if you are going to go that route in the future, carefully consider the charger you select now.

I tow 16-18k#, DD & sledpull my rig. I just stepped up from 62/71/14 to Super B special. The special spools 50rpm slower, but cools around 300-400* better.

If I decide to go this route what other modifications will I have to have done? DD clutch, headstuds, orings, and what else. Also Dave what turbo do you think I should run right now if I do decide to go to twins later on? Thanks for the help and info guys

It depends on gearing, elevation, use of the truck, ect, ect.

But for most, a 62/65-13ss or 14 is the right choice. Good spool and will support well over 600HP with a S400.

62/71/14 would be my choice if you want a twin set later. A 62/65/14 wouldn't be bad either, but the 71 series will definately be better.

Ok guys I think Ive made my mind up on my future plans, Im going to go with 150 horse injectors, super phat shaft 62 turbo, and 5 inch exhaust. So my next question is what type of mods would I have to have both studs and o-rings or would I be okay with just studs, and would I have to upgrade the valve springs or anything else on the head or would the studs and/or o-ring be all that Id have to have done. I just want to make shure I get everything right the first time around.

Thanks for all the help
