Studs will be another $400. Depending on your fueling you'll see anywhere from 55-75psi of boost. I'd also be thinking about oringing the head and getting 110# valve springs. Just remember you need to tune twins after you install them!!
well I believe your a little high on your hp estimates running a stock hx35 for the top. my compounds are 62/71/14 over the s475 with 1.35 housing with ddp 200's it was 575 ddp 250's 601 and with lightning 3's is made 683. the so pump is a good pump and they last been abusing mine for 3 years now but with 20psi steady to it and 0 issues.

yeah but your pretty much maxing it out they will make more than 500 but not a whole lot more. have seen a truck gain 50hp just by doing a so swap being only change same day

You probably wont see much of a gain over running your single... If you swapped to an so pump you'd have alot more room to grow.

01Quadcab- I think I'm a little over the hx35's limit... it'd be more like 500-550hp. An I never said anything bad about the so pump.... I actually said they were better than the ho. I personally would never run anything but an so... Unless I did a ppump!

I bet he will. To make power you need fuel and AIR. If you have enough fuel, add more air. I noticed a good bit of extra jam out of my rig when I put COMPOUNDS on it.

I'm not sure on the exact measurements, but I think the HO pump has 7mm plungers in it while the SO actually has 7.5mm plungers, which is probably why they are capable of more power. I believe the HO pumps used higher fuel pressure to help boost the power a bit, but actually used slightly smaller injectors than the SO engines as well.

I'm not too sure what has been done to your pump. Cams, Rings, and plungers can be modified to push more fuel. Exactly what is done, I am not sure.
