Soooo..... After A LOT of research and a pm to Adrian, I'm thinking a MTW Stage 3 is a HUGE possibility in the near future!!! Need some input guys.

Ehh, there is a couple guys who have had bad luck with his turbos. One in particular killed two of them, one at 6k miles and the other just over 200 miles. When the second turbo went it completely destroyed his motor. Mauled up the pistons and scored the cylinder walls iirc. I would definitely stick with RCD or Barder.

Hey good call on Barder. Spoke with James today and I'm having my Elite SSX modified to the Stage 3 and my injectors are on the way to RCD to get modified to 205's.... It's all set in stone!!!! Can't wait to hit a dyno with this setup when I return from Iraq in December!!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!!!

Spoke with Steve and he said my APEX manifold and DD solenoid will be shipped Monday. James is still waiting on the GT40 wheels to come in for my Stage 3 68. Should be in by the end of next week.

Manifold is an excellent choice. A very noticeable seat of the pants feel.

Sorry it's been so long guys. I finally got my truck back last night and DAMN!!!!! This thing runs like a raped unicorn on opiates!!! The Barder 68 cleans up the 205/100's easy. Still letting it break in before I start doing wot runs. The APEX manifold Steve made me works flawlessly and keeps everything nice and cool. Cruising temps at 55 is about 720. Started out wanting a reliable 600hp DD but think she's a lot closer to 700. Hahaha went from 14mpg to 20.5mpg. Big thanks to Steve Carter(Absolute performance), Jared(RCD), Maryland Diesel Perf, Chris B at TSD for writing my tune and most importantly my friend Justin Binkley(Six Pack Ind.) for building a monster for me while I was in Iraq. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Also, big thanks to Steve and Jared for helping us with the trans issue you guys are gentlemen and scholars!

Not yet. Just got it back last night and installed my EGT probe today. Going to have to get Chris to send me a revised tune that keeps it from shifting into overdrive early. Lol I have to floor it to get it to downshift and I blacked out 4 lanes on I40 doing it.

New updates to build..... Just got back to Iraq so the truck is in the shop getting a few upgrades.

BD exhaust manifolds
Dynoproven fuel sump
Custom Binkley ypipe
AFE downpipe
Snow Perf Stage 2 Water Meth kit
Custom Traction Bars

Everything should be installed by the time I get home in July...... Just in time to get to the track :tree:

Nice Taylor! That truck is going to be strong as hell when you get it back! I may be changing the lineup on my truck soon - we'll see. Hope all is well over there!
