I had two mods done last week and wanted to share the results.
I got a set of Twins from MPI (many of you know this company as Idaho CTD, Nathan Wright) MPI is Maximized Performance Inc. They are by most standards a large set but my fueling level just put me there. 1st I'd like to say that Nathan doesn't just pull something off the shelf,. . he asks all the pertinent questions 1) your mods are? 2) goals for the truck 3) how will the truck be used,... primarily and otherwise 4) do you tow and how much weight. Those are examples of what he and I covered when deciding what my set should be. Nathan ended up recommending that I go with the HTT SS 64/71/13 to drive my big dog,... an s400 modified w/a race cover and I opted for a 40mm wastegate to precisely control boost.
The MPI setup works. It works outstanding. For any doubters I wish like ..... I could take you for a ride but seriously spoolup is so close to an oem that there is not a nickels difference,... it is just about instant. Boost will be set at 75psi, per Nathan's recommendation,... it's a little low right now but will be adjusted tomorrow. When the s400 kicks then it is Star Trek Warp Speed. If you haven't felt anything like that b-4 then you are really missing it. Let's talk fit and finish,... have you seen perfect! It is that. The The tolerances between stuff is soooooo close that you can't imagine it could all fit so sweet. The shop even said it was quite easy to install,... big surprise to me as big and heavy as they are but they assembled the set andthen rapped a nylon telephone pulling cable around them and picked it up with a cherry picker and in a matter of a few minutes,... Voila,. . she's bolted up. Then the piping and braces to protect from the upper cold pipe hose from blowing off (that happened to me previously and it really jacked my hood). The vendor Nathan uses for for the powdercoating did an outstanding job too. The set actually looks as good as it works. One more thing on the twins,. . I tow about 12. k from 1 to 3 times a week,... I hooked it up this AM and it towed beautiful. Everything was just as I had hoped for and if you're looking for a 1st cabin set of twins then look no further.
The other mod was Dual CP3s by Relentless. Again the engineering was perfect fit. They were a piece of cake to install. I already had two Dodge pumps so this was the setup for me for sure. It is a great value and you won't believe how your truck will like having the fuel it needs.
An observation on the net affect of the dual cp3s,... you know how your TSt or say SMARTY or whatever you're running doesn't seem to make much difference going between the lower levels and the upper ones when you're on a dyno (I know,... you think it makes a difference when your just on the street and push it up from 3 to lvl 7 or so and man your off,... then you get it on the dyno and there is 30-hp between your lvl3 and lvl 7 and you can't believe it!!!) well when you have dual cp3s the difference between levels is clear,... and it is much more than you ever thought. Face it,. . you have to feed the beast.
Just thought some of you thinking of these mods might like to know a couple that actually work.
