well, for the twins, you will more than likely need more fuel than that. What are your goals for the truck?

Dont get a second CP3 unless you like blowing up motors. Running twin turbos with a mildly modded stock CP3 will net you a far better return in torque with lower EGT's without putting a window in the block.

If you like weight reduction holes that completely stop an engine from running then be my guest. I've blown up 3 engines so I'm not real keen on anymore "weight reduction holes".

We're talking a cummins here, not a duramax. We don't have those problems with rods like you guys do.
