Newbie but not a complete Noob. A little break down bought this 3yrs ago just rolled over 100k had everything on it except trans winch and bumper (Deer slayer). Just put trans on and holy shift batman is all I can say. It’s time to feed this beast been a long time coming. Been researching so much that everything seems to run together. This is my daily driver looking to run in the 650+ on fuel only and do everything pull 5th wheel, gooseneck, sled, drag on any given day. I believe in doing things right the first time because time is money. So I come to you with all with my questions. The following is the order I was thinking. Your advice on order or products would be greatly appreciated.
1) Airdog or FASS 150+
2) Cam (Big Stick), Springs, rods, studs (ARP 625), Intercooler is the cam even worth the time or do I just put it in back up when I start to build it from ground up?
3) Single or Double was thinking Industrial 68 for single not sure if that would be to big to stack later or do I just go with add on over stock or go with the twin phatshaft setup or different manufacture ATS, BD?
4) Twin CP3 all seem to be the same setup just different name on them.
5) 150-180 sticks manufacture not sure?
6) EFI-Live V2 w/ Insight to many good tuners out there any recommendations
I would like to thank you for your time I know it’s a little long winded but have researched so much head is spinning. I’m not stuck on any certain brand or manufacture so all your recommendations while be of great help. Thanks again

 

Since you want to be able to tow with it I would go twins. A 68 would not be a good choice for an add primary later turbo. Look between the 62/65, 63/68 and 64/70 ish range. Yes you need a lift pump of whatever your fancy. I like Airdog but FASS and Fuelab are some other options. You do not need a cam to hit 650 and save your money for the 625's. 425's will work fine. Twin CP3's? More or less the same setup. You can find used setups sometimes for almost half the price as new. As for injectors, I run injectors from F1. Exergy is very good also. Some others might chime in about that. For EFI Live. Some guys like to have local tuners just for the logistics. I'm pretty sure Starlite Diesel is close to you (Zach) and he's very good. There are many options there.

 

I thought that 68 would be a little much for what I’m going to do. I was looking at the 425’s as well but had heard people saying they have had a tendency to stretch more over time with heat cycles. I will look into the F1 and Exergy injectors. Starlite is a little trek about 6hrs but I plan on taking my boat over there for some bigger watering holes guess it will be next summer now being late in season and would rather have everything done before I drop the $$ on tunes. Thank you for your insight.

 

My 425's have been in for about 4 years now with the factory head gasket. Daily driving it until recently when I bought a beater car. They're fine. You really don't need an EFI Live tuner to be local to you since you can have tunes sent to you. If I had an autocal and wanted someone to do my tunes for me, I would have Les (Silverbullet) do them. He's very good. My opinion of course. There are some very good tuners out there.

 

Sorry for delayed response thanks you for insight I will try the 425's and save the $$. for the twins. Yes I relized you could get the tunes sent to you. I just want all modz complete before I request them so it will be a one and done deal then find DYNO to fine tune.

 

Fixed it all up for ya.
