Next is the selling of the Edge boxes (juice, ez) and purchase of more gauges and TST with pressure.
Autometer Phantom II
0-2000 pyro,
0-100 boost (new future turbos to about 55-65psi?, or a 0-60 is too little)
Intake Air Temp
Oil Pressure
triple a-pillar pot and quad over head pod
I plan to put the old parts up on ebay this weekend.
Smarty + tst should complete the programming aspect for a long while. I don't expect any power gains. Maybe expect a blown turbo? :-laf:-laf
Turbo is next after that for sure!
I'm thinking 64/14. Tho, I have yet to see, learn, figure out how 4000rpm will work with a turbo vs the standard 3000rpm (were defueling starts). This of course is pending public availability of 4000rpm Common Rail programs
Logic is telling me, more RPM is more air, more drive pressure. So you need a bigger housing. So maybe a 16 would react like a 12 or 14 with more RPM? If you need a 16 now, do you go up another level? Does drive pressure become that much more important at the higher RPMs? What about the compressor? can you support a 66 or 71 with ease (as in minimal smoke)? Maybe a massive waste gate is the key.
ARP studs should come in shortly after this turbo is in place. Just for safety sake.
This may force me to add a drive pressure gauge to the truck.
Naturally after the turbo is a second cp3, rail porting and injectors (60hp or 90hp range), this fixes the now "under fueled" situation. There is no reason to do a stage 1 or 2 CP3, a second one is the only way to go.
Not going for 1000hp. 700-750 on fuel. And for kicks I may add some spray. Anything more I'd like to have a dedicated truck to break.
As for valve springs, what I've read, you don't need them as much as one thought.
This is all what I have planned. Subject to change (like injectors).

I'm, no expert, I just read a lot of others successes and trying to do what seems to work. feel free to point out flaws in my logic here.
This spring I also plan to buy the wheels off of my friend and stick some now 305/60/r20's. 2wd traction sucks as it does now

can't go around in 4x4 all day long.
