Twins or not????

Okay....

I have posted this on some other sites too...just getting some all-around info.

A few weeks ago I purchased another turbo. I am about maxed on upgrades otherwise and the custom diesel shop I use in Atlanta has already made some new stickers for me...currently on the sides over the 2500 plates are 500 HP stickers...and they read "600HP Twin Turbo"

All I would be looking at spending is about $500 on the tubing to fabricate the system. I already got the head O-ringed and had them check some other stuff to make sure I was in good working order...now all I need is a reason not to do it!!!

100 more rear-wheel horsepower is an intoxicating thought!!

If you do this;

-Think of all the mustangs you can beat on

-Think of all the honduh's you can abuse

-Think of the smile on your face after doing either of the above.

-Think about being able to put one of them on a trailer and still getting a better timeslip than them.

Sincerely, CMNT, your voice of wisdom to do it, the devil on your left shoulder. Turst me I won't talk anyone out of adding HP to their vehicle.

Go for it!! :thumb:

Actually, CMNT, I can outrun a lot of GT's, Cobra's, and all sorts of Camaros right now. None of the ricers around town will race me anymore because they all know my truck and that they will have their butts handed to them on a silver platter

I raced an early 90's vette the other night and freakin' ran away from him...topped out at 110 mph

I am mainly doing it for strip times...and so I can say I have 600HP

CMNTMXR81 · November 21, 2002

Why stop at 600 then? Let's go for 700.

Well...one step at a time....

My next step will probably be propane injection....but that ain't for a looooooooong time, no questions asked.

My deal Lord man! Of course do it! For 500 duckets for 100 HP, that's a pretty good deal there!

Hey folks...as an aside, I took my truck to the track last night(Friday night). It was about 40 degrees, and I ran a 13.9 @ 99.4 mph 1/4 mile. I was very pleased as this was my first time at a track ever...or running a timed 1/4 at that.

Did I mention my truck was a manual?
