I personally think 150's would be good but they might be alittle big for your turbo

I agree, funny.

350HP- 400HP usable is about right. Put a 64 on top and then they really start to shine.

Remember, many of us have actually ran multiple setups in the real world and not just on the track or at a dyno event. But pulling trailers at low speeds to cruise on the highway to up and over the passes.

For injectors I am running Vulcans. Way more economical and all the same power. In fact, my truck had a 3% opacity on the left pipe and a 5% on the right. Guess which pipe is shorter? :D

This was done with everything on KILL. But with a light foot.

What I would like to do is lower my current EGTs on a good grade and have a little more power out my truck while pulling a heavy load. I am in the Military and living in Southern California so I need to keep my upgrade in the affordable section. I do not have the ability to afford the $4k plus for the BD twins and the parts required to use them anytime in the next year or so. What would you suggest with my limits in place?

If that's the case, keep it simple.

A single 62 sized charger with a 14cm housing will do what you want it to. A set of compounds does not really net you much until you are looking at 450+. Again, JMO.

But, as mentioned, the HX35 over S400 is the cheapest of the cheap. I would run a 14cm housing though. And it will be severely limited at RPMs climb. But, it will spool fast and cool those temps. You will not need a very big injector with this setup either.

But if it were me, I would buy a single that could be easily integrated into a set of towing twins later. Something like a 62/65-14 or 13SS. BTW, we all started out only wanting 400HP. Even after adding 250+ more to that, some of us are still looking for more.

Again, JMO.

Yeah i just put a 62/71/14 on my truck. It cooled it down nicely even with my dirty crappy hot jammer injectors. I think it would be a good choice for what you wanna do. And it would make a good top turbo in a set of twins. I have only seen 1300 once with that turbo.

set of bd tow twins for sale used for 2000 I saw the other day

This does not mean this will happen, just something I have observed on my own truck. That things has had more turbos than I care to remember.

Dave

Hmmm I will have to remember that when i got to build my twins. Everyone i said that they worked well in a twin set up thats why i bought it

I don't have any issues with my 62/71/14 over s475 towing driving whatever. Egt's are cool.

Oh ok i was kinda worried for a moment

Being that you are from Spokane, or the Highlands area, elevation will play a factor for you as well.

Again, it does not mean it will be an issue, just something to be aware of. If you have a manual truck, it'll behave much nicer. This is where a smaller turbine on the primary can greatly help spool.

Dave

Yeah i got a handshaker in mine
