Met a guy at Truck Nightg last night who claimed to have 550 HP on tap in a 01.

Here is the mod list: (Now bear with me, a few are extremely fake)

- a stock turbo converted to VGT
- 150HP EDGE Injectors (Entire injectors)
- Edge with Juice
- Banks High Ram
- BD trans
- BD converter
- Pre and post pyro
- 100HP VP for $2600
- FASS without filters

Now, what do you 24v guys make of this?

Stock turbo, "VGT" or not, will not provide enough air for 550 without spray, unless there is a bigger turbo underneath it. Sounds like that BD VP someone posted a while ago, along with the banks parts, sounds like more money than brains IMO. I don't think he has the fuel for 550, let alone enough air.

Probly more like 400hp. The hot rod vp will make same power as a regular vp with his mods.

If I add that intake my 450 hp truck could make 550 also!!!
Ask him to dyno it!!!!

Sounds like hot air to me

Maybe 350, freakin liar

I don't know if he's a liar or just a boastful fool adding up "sticker hp".

I'd say he's 400ish on the stock charger, but has plenty of fuel to hurt it.

with a 62/12 I would believe it but not without a turbo. Is it a newer stock VGT or some aftermarket one?

More hot air from another bench racer

Now its not possible to convert a HX40 or whatever the 24v guys run to a VGT is it?

2001 model.

Oh, its not a HRVP either.

The VGT turbos are built in a number of variants you wouldn't expect. The HY55 has a VGT version (this is like an HX55).

I've never heard of a VGT HX40, but holset builds tons of variants for a myriad of different applications.

There's a VERY good chance that if it *is* a VGT charger then it's newer generation HE series.

with the setup he is claiming exept i had RV275's I did 377/810. I swithched to 150hp sticks and a 62/12 and made 550/1205, I'd ike to know exactly what turbo he has.

If its a hy55 I would accept that it'd be capable of 550 hp based on what I've seen/heard of the hx55's, but that's not a a stock charger. It might work good if you had an inside man at cummins with all the pertinent info *cough* *nudge*

Could be a crankshaft power rating. Rear wheel are about 10 to 15% lower than crankshaft. 150 sized sticks would smoke lots and create lots of heat (egt's) for almost any single until its up its pressure curve. I don't know if the HX35 turbine housing would fit on a Hx-40. There are tons of different Hx-35 or Hx-40 configurations. Put her on the juice and you might get 550 rwhp, people do that everyday.

Let me be more clear - it is a STOCK TURBO. I laughed when he said it was converted to VGT.

We even looked at the compressor wheel - (and popped out the silencer for him)

With the Juice completely off, the truck barely smoked - wouldn't it cause pollution with the 150hp injectors?
