what upgrades from here?

Hello everyone,

I have some questions for you. If you were going to upgrade your engine what would you do? What would your wish list be?

I am looking for upwards of 300hp and a good towing motor.

Keep in mind that I need to keep this engine reliable and it will be in my daily driver.

This is what I have already done:
Hypermax turbo (1.0 outlet housing, I think)
PSD intercooler
G code injectors
pump has about 100k on it (it's turned up 4 flats)

banks transcommand
Baumann valve body upgrades
external cooler

I'll have a budget of about $3,000. I'll also be upgrading to a BTS at the same time also.


So, What would you do?

Thanks for the insight and advice,

John

go to oil burners. net and look up Agnem. His name is Mel Agne and he sells "moose pumps".

To make 300, you need more fuel. You will not get enough fuel from a stock IP.

Thanks Flatlander. I'll look into the Moose Pump. Mel has guided me in a lot of the upgrades that I have done to the truck already. He's got good advice.

There is also Propane or Water/Methanol injection as other potential power adders.
