im trying to get my truck ready for next years august blackout. i want to get 700hp, so here is what i was thinking about doing. let me know what you think, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



Smarty and some pressure box (suggestions)

Fass or glacier

Flux 2

helix 2 cam and springs

silver 62

ats manifold

afe stg 2

fire rings and studs

clutch

cp3 and dual feed line

water injection

5" exhaust
 
Not with thoes mods..... You'd be lucky to break 530HP



I dont think anybody that is at 600+ doesnt have a TST.



You need a TST and a alot more air.



600 is easy and 700 is almost unheard of for a moderately built daily driver.



I'm not a pro builder but im a pro web bomber. Its not going to be easy and its gonna take lots of dyno time to dial it in.



You will need a triple stack

(BDDL Crazy Larry, TST, MP8) or (Smarty, TST, MP8) or the Future EFI live

Large single like Silverbullet or similar or a nice set of twins possably custom set since I havent seen too many 700+hp guys running BD or ATS.

Everything GDP sells (walbro kit, Big line, 2micron, fuel water sep)

Major CP3 mods like stage 3, Dual feed line and larger rail and maybe PPE dual CP3's will be the ticket by then.

larger injectors, Springs, O-ring the head and studs, and then the common things like exhaust, gauges etc... .



Finally I think you should shoot for 600hp and see how you and your truck likes the 600HP level and then and only then decide if its worth it to go up to 700HP and give up a fair amount of driveability. You do realize that your most likely going to have to get a Dual Disk clutch and that mean's that you will be kissing alot of driveability and genral niceness away... .



700 is a big number and I'd reccomend that you team up with a trusty diesel builder who has done this kind of thing before since 700 isnt just a bunch of bolt ons but requires lots of machining and tuning since there sooooo many variables into making a 700hp rig. You will have over 100 combonations in electronic tuning levels, Turbo tuning, ect.



Goodluck and plan on spending lots of $$$. I know D. Wiggs has been putting together a similar set up and is way over $50,000 with similar goals but he's mainly on DTR and I got banned from there last month. .

I'm making 700 without a TST ;). But I would have to agree here. I don't think that is going to get you 700. It' doesn't look as though you have enough air for one thing
 
im sure you will be closer to 600-650 if not more with those mods. i did 555hp/1016tq with only a smarty, a 60hp pressure box and 80hp injectors.

stock turbo, clutch, and cp3. without adding numbers i pretty sure you will be around 650hp, with the list you have above.

Here you go:

ATS Exhaust manifold with Silver bullet

Walbro Pump with big line kit

modded CP3 with dual feed line

TST R49 with SMARTY Stacked; the TST can add pressure like a MP8, but might kill your injectors

Flux two's

Studded

DD Clutch

5" exhaust

a little shot of NOS you should be in there... :-laf

nice setup, sounds good but i would still do the cam and springs though.
 
Sorry,...

But with those mods listed you won't be anywhere close to 700hp. You've had some good suggestions but you need to add water/meth and a larger Intercooler to the list of what has already been recommended and you'll need a big set of twins.

Yeah, I meant to put that in there, sorry... :D Like mentioned, a new intercooler would be nice too... Let me tell ya'll my experiance with the TST. I bought the basic TST R37 kit to begin with, but wanted the cool down feature so upgraded to the TST R49. Going from the R37 to the R49 feels like a totally different system... Man, this being able to adjust your timing and fuel pressure is awesome. I put three degree's of timing on mine and my bottom end is awesome, anymore than 3 I have to much timing rattle. Stack it with a SMARTY and you have yourself a earthmover, the TQ is crazy... I wished I could have some time on a dyno and tune it, but there's no reason what I mentioned above shouldn't work to get him 700 HP with a shot of NOS. Also get yourself some ladder bars.

sorry bud but a few have done well over that with a stocker and a single in place, brett williams rings a bell @ 813hp, but you suggestion is a good idea.
 
Hmmmmm!

Well certainly you can find an exception for anything and in this case what you have is someone taxing their overall system more than it's designed capability. I can put 60lbs of air in a rated 30psi tire. It may not blow,... today!!! Let's face it,... it's not a good idea. The whole point in having a CTD is durability,... strength,... endurance. If a guy preps for power like you are suggesting then I submit you are kissing that goodbye. I guess that's why we all have our opinions and I respect yours,... normally.

i never thought i would here that come from you :D wow!







I guess my point is like you said yourself. :D That stocker may have made Robert 555 HP on the dyno, but do you think it would do it on a daily basis while towing that truck over the mountains you crossed to come to my place?? That's the difference between drivable HP and dyno HP. And when have I ever preached that dyno HP is the only way to go? :confused: I just use the dyno as a tool to tune mine, and not my buttometer as some chose to. :-laf Don't worry "W" it will hit the track this year... ... twin disk is already on the way...



I am not trying to make it look as though there are not plenty of ways to go about making HP, but you saw how mine performed on the dyno and you also know I have no problem towing heavy. :D

my suggestions:



silver bullet

gdp (forget the fass)

van aken pressure box (dont think its our yet for your truck) if you can get one for you truck if not get the edge but i would only use pressure for the dyno and track
 
thanks for all the responses guys, your really helping me with certain aftermarket goodies i should look into. i have another question about the silver 62. how much horsepower will that turbo support? i was considering the silver bullet at first, but didnt think i needed it. maybe il get one now. propably run some nos. im still new to the 3rd gens so you guys chiming in really helps. yes i have been considering an aftermarket intercooler, i just didnt list it. has anyone checked out the buildup of the diesel power truck. thats kinda what ive been basing my modifications on and all your guys iput as well. thanks for all the info again.
 
If your going for max hp get the silver bullet with the 66mm compressor wheel... . or maybe even the super secret silver bullet with the 68mm compressor wheel...
