I just spent some unnecessary money on a low pressure fuel system that I dont need for the power goal I have in mind. So I was wondering if we could post up some info on what upgrades are needed for each power level/power goal. With two different lists for 11-14 trucks in one and 15 & 16 trucks in another. For example 11-14 trucks with X intake, X tune and X exhaust = X rwhp and get X mpgs. Or 15 & 16 trucks need X turbo and X supporting mods for 650 rwhp and so on and so forth. Also limits for stock parts would be helpful. Real world numbers only. If your truck has not been dynoed please don't post estimated numbers that builders forcast for their parts cause some may be inflated or underrated. Also not everbody lives at sea level so if you post up numbers please include your altitude as well. Thanks

Curious how many miles are on your truck. Assuming stock rods still? this sounds like an awesome DD set up.

It is. I love it. Yes stock rods, and I turn it up all the way and sled pull it. I have showed it no mercy and it has been excellent. I turn it (minimax) down to stock (921 max Pw) to tow, and it is virtually smoke free. Still has a lot of power too. I've had this setup for a lot of miles. Probably 30k miles. Have 84k now but I can't remember mileage when 68 went on. I run the "tow" setting most of the time which I think is 1228pw. It just eats tires above that, because it's too much fun to keep off the throttle.

Your results may vary on the rods holding, but I haven't had any problems and I can assure you that sled pulling is quite the strain on things.

What is going on here? Mr. Cain is no slouch on this stuff but it seems like the turbo isn't really putting out?
