Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Let the BOMBing Begin! What to add?

[RSchwarzli]

Hey guys, I have gotten to the point of BOMBing the crew motor, but I need advice of what to add. Oo.



I am going for 450-500 all day HP. I do not want alot of smoke or extreamly high EGT's due to the fact that this will be used mostly on the highway. I am thinking of a PDR towing twins setup (HX35 and HT3B) for the turbo's, but the rest... ... ?



If it helps, the motor was pirated from a 97 Auto (CPL 2174) and is now converted to a NV5600 with a South Bend Con OFE. Motor mods already added are as follows:



Banks twin ram intake

ATS 3 pc exhaust manifold

60 PSI valve spring (intake and exhaust)

FASS system

Looking for new intercooler



Any thoughts for more mods to get to the new power level? Will I need to stud and O ring the head? Thanks so much!!

gauges, go that twin route for fast spool, have the pump tuned, timing bumped up, set of 370's, cut plate, gsk, oring the head, studs. that should get you there easy and low smoke, and low egts.

O yeah, forgot to mention, this thing is running about 19 guages... .
