Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Horse Power Range

[EGaskamp]

I just ordered a Drag Comp and am going to order the dd3's tomorrow. Do yall think that 400+ hp is reachable with this setup? I did the numbers in my head and the drag comp (120hp) and the dd3's (100hp) equal 455hp. Is this around the range I will be? Thanks

You should be real close. It should also be real toasty with the stock turbo, keep an eye on her.

Double J is right.

You will need more air. A better air filter would be a start. Talk to Keith at Diesel Dynamics. You will probably need to upgrade the tubocharger.

Will need more air

-- a bigger turbo and depending upon which one - you will be in the 440 BUT not without - IMO. These additions of HP don't add up as they should... One item by itself - the box - will provide the biggest increase and the biggest potential for way to much heat... ...

I think the drag comp is said to give 150hp because it does not defuel untill 3200 rpms when it on 5x5. Also do you have a stock clutch? I dont think the stocker will hold up mine went with just a comp and 275s.

Drag Comp doesn't make any more HP than the standard, it just doesn't defuel above 2700rpm in level 5. HP will be 380-410 depending on how much power the truck made stock. Swapping the turbo for one appropriately sized for that much power would get you another 40-50hp.

My old 2000 with DD3's, DD Cam, Drag UPM and DD HX-40 did 475HP during a MayMadness dyno run. l

Don't run both at once until you get a clutch! Your EGTs will get toasty, but so will your clutch!
