Need more power!
 

I been gettin spanked by a few Fords around town and desperately need more power. I been thinking o-ringed head and a helix 1 cam but not sure of which turbo(s) and bigger injectors to get. I want big power and wont be towing anyting. Just be the fastest in town. Any help?

:hi: :c:

this knothead doesn't know what to tell you about your overvalved monstrosity but i'm sure one of the other knotheads will be along to answer you.

Put a tuner on that dude, then go for injectors and then a turbo maybe.
If all else fails, trade it in on a Ford!
If ya can't beat em...

oh, and....
 

I'm with chenry get you a tuner on that thing and then if you still can't beat join em. :up:

welcome to DB

definatley get a programmer of some sorts.

Diablo makes a nice programmer for $300 that make very nice power for the money.
Im sure those fords arent stock like you

He has a Drag Comp and a Fass with 110hp sticks. Thats a pretty powerful truck.


Sounds like you need to think about a turbo and maybe a Smarty to help bring the bottom end in more. No towing means we have room to be crazy with the turbo. 6 speed makes it kinda hard, but doable. Oring and stud the head, or just stud it for now until you have to oring it. Cam is not a bad idea at all, PDR has a pretty nice grind, as does the F-1. You would be looking at a Helix 2 for your application. That wil help spoolup and EGTs.

For a turbo, you should be looking at maybe the SuperStock 62/14 from HTT or maybe the Super B special from BD. The Silver 62 from Industrial is nice as well, but spendy. Either of these should give you enough air and decent spool up. You could jump to a 64 if you are willing to sacrifice some spool up, but with a 6 speed you need it to spool so you can get the power to the ground and grab another gear.

I would look at these options before looking at bigger sticks. Try and burn what you are putting in before adding more. I know you are getting hot right now.

Also - Welcome to the group!

Thanks Diesel nut for noticing the mods. I wasnt sure if i was the only one who could see them. I will get the cam and o ring and studs for sure. And I got the money for twins, just not sure which ones to get. And F-1 stage 6 has grabbed my attention. Which would be a better setup a big single or a set of twins? And which twins? Also a south bend all at the same time will be going in. My diesel shop loves me:up:

Ordered a Super 62 today. Along with a 3 peice ATS and a down pipe. Cant wait, if anybody gots any pointers, let me know.

Wash and wax your tailgate as it's gonna be the last part of you them Ford boys are gonna see! :tttt:

I guestamate 375-450 rwhp on #2 only. If you are still hot water meth.

Better talk to Diesel Nut about a Smarty and a clutch as yours will be shot the first week!.....................Don't ask how I know:w2:
