Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) What should I do for more hp?

[Irontrader]

I currently have the RV275 injectors, EZ box, and SB clutch.



Last time I dyno'd around 290 rwhp.



I'd like to get to around the 350hp range.



Brother-in-law bought a Duramax so I thought my current setup might need a bit more if he decides to do something sneaky.



So what's my best option to the 350 range (or maybe a bit more ?



Since Rip is local I thought about getting a Edge Comp and 4" exhaust from him, but don't know if there is a better or cheaper way to add the hp.

My . 02 cents



Bigger Showerheads

Major fueling Box (Comp, TST, Blue Chip, etc. )



either would get you there, both would get you beyond. running bigger showerheads and a major box you probably should upgrade turbo.

If you want 350+ go with at least DDII's and a wire tapping box (comp, tst, blue chip etc. ) With my DDII's, a TST on level nine and stock turbo with a K&N in the stock box and 4" exhaust I got 366 hp. Only problem with this setup is I can bury the Pyrometer to 1500*. I know a turbo upgrade is needed at these levels so plan on one. Just my $. 02

IT ask Rip for the NW special . DD3's and a Comp



guaranteed to make you happy for a long while

There are a number of recipes to get you there (350HP)



A race box (drag comp/ddufm. PMAX comp) and 275s will do it.



A regular fuel box (comp, pmax) and dd1s will do it.



So will a timing box (ez, van aaken, all the clones) and DD3s



Lots of options.

How about:



Mega Mental Injectors

Major Fueling Box

Twins

Propane

NOS





Ummmm... ... yeah..... that should be around 350 hp

Sounds like your on the right track, got your clutch and gauges done. DD2's, boost elbow, and a comp should get you there. Might look at some kind of air box or open up the stock one by drilling holes in it. I prefer the AFE, but theres a lot of options out there.
