Water-Meth injection, and maybe twins, also more fuel if you can.

A few things I was thinking of, F1 Mach 4 or 5 injectors, Up graded intercooler & someday a Garrett GT4202R or GT4508R under my GT3788R But if i do the compounds I would want even bigger injectors & also possibly the water/meth

Damn its never going to end

Whats the end power goal? Do you tow at all? I would think about a bigger set of injectors than 150's, Your mods will support a 240 horse + injector. I've made over 800 on a factory intercooler. What housings and wheels are on the 3788? Are you running a SO VP-44?

I almost never tow anything & I dont really have a set goal. The truck is my daily driver. The turbo is basicly a 64/71, its like 63.5/72.5 or something like that

01Quadcabs 200's would fit the bill very well with the truck being a daily driver!
