12 valve upgrades for towing
Ok, im gonna be buying a '96 or '97 dually and i want to set it up for towing.
Heres what im looking for:
400-425 rwhp is the goal
: what turbo will work at this hp, keeping egts low while not takin forever to spool up [ive been told piers modified hx40], what about a super b?
: what injectors do i need?
:fuel plate?
:timing?
:clutch?
I need to know how to take a bone stock truck to probably 400 rwhp from start to finish, walk me though it, as i dont know too much about 12valve performance stuff
Thanks,
Roy

-piers modified HX40 would be decent, but a varient of the S300 or a small set of twins would be better
-injectors you could go for marine 370s but they will get a little tosty for towing, look to industrial injection, piers, or one of the other injector companys about what you want out of it
-fuel plate, a #10 will be a good plate, a #100 would be good too but might get a little hot on the top end
-timing go to 15.5 or 16 degrees
-clutch go to south bend call them up tell them what you want and they will honestly tell you what you need probably a con OFE or con FE those are both 13" upgrades
-on the exhaust you will want probably a 5 inch, you could do 4 but making close to 500hp your going to want the 5
-also with this power your probably going to look towards head studs and o-rings to keep your lid on
-also you will want to get either a 3gsk or 4gsk to use your power all the way through your powerband
anything else just lemme know

i'd go with an HTT HTBG 57 (~$1,050) or a 71 series Super Stock 62 (~$1,670)... both require an HX-40 style downpipe do figure in 160-180 extra for that.... i run the 71 series 64/14 the 14 keeps it perty cool on the egt side..... mainly it depends on how deep your wallet is..... a 4kgsk is a must... don't worry about the valve springs as you'll never turn that beast over 3200 rpm anyway it's just nice to have it fuel hard up to that point..... i don't have any first hand experience with injectors and deliveryvalves as i haven't installed mine yet so i can't comment there.... my 64 is harder than my HX to spool... but i'm still on my stock fuel system (stock pump, deliveryvalves, injectors) but i run plateless... i :q: could :q: peg my 1600 pyro with the stock turbo.... i just didn't do it but a couple of times........ i'd rather let me foot control EGT's than a plate..... JMHO

My wallet isnt all that deep, im looking to make the most safe HP for around $2000 total. I can do all of the work myself, so labor prices dont need to be included. I didnt even realize you could run em w/o a plate. Also, how hard is it to grind your own plate? Id rather grind my own than buy a new one and put the extra $ into somethin else.
So, can i get this kind of safe HP for $2k? If not, how much can i get for that kind of money?
