Well I'm now less than 100 days out from going home to spend some of this nice extra desert pay While I have been over here I have been doing the research for what I want to do next. I have a plan, and just wanted opinions on it.

1) Nathans Stocker/S400. Price is right and Nathan said it would comfortably support the 600HP mark I would like to be at. Also I figured if the Stocker gets outgrown I could swap it out with say a 62/71 or something similar?

2) Studs/Springs and injectors all in one shot. As for injectors I was looking at 100HP sticks. From what I have read, these should work very nice with my setup. I am not sure if I can do Flux's or not. That will all depend on if I can cope with the extra downtime or not.

3) Right now my Arson CP3 kit is not installed and with the Smarty on #7, RP2, TM2, TQ3, wastegate off, and the Qyad X2 (fuel only) on 2 I can keep 24K+ RP without a problem. If I put the Quad higher than two I can pretty easily see around 27K. I figure I can monitor my RP and upgrade my CP3 after that if needed. It would have to wait till around mid next summer anyways.

I did have a question about boost gauges. I will be getting a 100PSI gauge to replace my current 60PSI gauge. I am just a little uncomforable using the upper end of a calibrated item. Can I/should I use the 60 PSI gauge to monitor/adjust either the primary or secondary, or just remove it all together? I'm looking at having my A-pillar pod having a 100 PSi for total, a 60 PSi for either the primary or secondary, and another 100 PSI for Drive. Would this be needed/overkill ect...

Lastly, I was looking at a 3-4 gauge pod overhead. I will put my FP and tranny temp there. I was also looking at an oil temp gauge. Would the oil temp be needed/overkill. What should I look at to fill the 4th hole?

I know this was long, but thanks oh so much for taking the time. I'm looking at dropping alot of cash at once and want to be sure I'm doing it right.


Thanks, George

Run your 60 psi gauge for the primary tapped into the cold pipe. Oil temp is not need, oil pressure more appropriate.

I have the 3 position overhead... Primary Boost, total Boost and tranny temp are there. Egt gauge in the A-pillar. Since you are going to run a DP gauge, put all three where you can see them together whether A-pillar or overhead. Then Tranny temp, Egt and FP and Oil pressure together.
