Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Injector Upgrade ?

[Augustus]

I have a 99 3500, 5-Speed, Comp Box, pusher pump system, straight pipe, BHAF. Can I install DDIIIs without having to upgrade the Turbo? I will probably need to upgrade the clutch. Does anyone else have a similiar set up on a 99 5-speed.

Can you install DDII's... ... . sure you can. Will you be able to run with the COMP on 5x5... ..... of course not.



You can install the injectors and then you will have to fine tune how much of the COMP you can use until at such time you opt for a better turbo.

What about IIIs?

Sorry missed an "I" oops... ... ... ... . yes you can still install a set of III's however it will just lower how much of the COMP's power you can use. III's & COMP on Level 1 shouldn't be an issue, above that it depends on how your truck reacts.



I guess a more important question since you did ask about III's, is how much and how heavy do you tow?

 

[Augustus]

Rarely do I tow, maybe once a month, and that would be a piece of equipment, backhoe, or a skid steer across town.

Hauling my backhoe around town I can hit 1250* no problem on level 1x1. That is with the Turbo... ... ... ...

I need some more power, any suggestions? I would like to stay within a budget. About one grand.

anymore power you'll need a clutch, period. Might be wise to spend the $1000 on the clutch then save up for 3's.

The voice of reason prevails.

Do you NEED more power or do you WANT more power?? DD2 work pretty well and only 20 hp less than threes. It may fill the need/want till you get a turbo for the bigger set. ?

I installed a comp, but left the pump wire off, and it helped some. Then we put in DD2's. What a difference!! It really woke the truck up!! SOme say with a stock turbo and III's, it will smoke ALOT!
