The DD III's and Turbo go in @ the same time or Turbo then DD III's. Just waiting to hear from PDR... ..... I'm thinking HX35, but He's the man with the final say.

I have a question for you... ... . If you had to do it all over again what would be your straight line approach?

Eric

You'll be overpowered for the HX35... ... if you go with Piers turbo get the HX40. When I was running my PDR HX35 I could peg the EGT in level 4 and 5 at will. Even with just the COMP your gonna have to watch the gauge for EGT's.



The order I would do things now :

Gauges

4" exhaust (for sound)

filter

transmission

fueling box

turbo

injectors



I'm still running stock lift pump, stock location. I have changed it once tho.



If you want the power you say you do then you need to skip right over the HX35.....

Eric, I have the HX40 16cm housing, it went on when the BD 3's where installed along with the ATS manifold. The lag isn't bad with the 6 speed and the combo of the 3's and the HX40, not sure how it would be with the Auto but guessing similar. You will smoke some at takeoff, I was able to control the smoke with my shift points and the fuel in relationship to boost with the 3's, it's a bit more challeging with the showerheads now, but even they are streetable IMHO. Give me a shout if you are planning on installing all the goodies yourself, I'd be more than happy to come down your way for a day or two of assisted mad BOMBing .



Sound like I might have some competition on the next run at Bob Ida's dyno.

Scott,

After I get the ring back I'll be treating myself to some goodies.

It is a BIG ring... ..... 1. 26ct with some high performance ratings after it. Gotta be worth a couple hundred HP. lol

Bombs away... ... a day of wrenching with you would be cool..... I wanna go fast... ... ... . fast.

Got any place to race up by you?lol We could probably out run the P. D. ... ... ... ... ..... right? lol

Well, I know a few place's but it's tough finding any real long, flat straights in Vernon. It's mostly up or down or a curve . The best test hill is 515 with it's 17%grade. If traffic is light and the deer/black bear stay in the woods it's a blast to climb.



As to the PD cars... oh yeah, I can out run them, but with the right driver behind the wheel it's a challenge .



That ring must be chipped right off the Hope diamond, sounds like it's worth at least 250 ponies to me .
