If your stackin a smarty id atleast do water/meth for your egt control. however intercooler or compounds will take care of them nasty monster melting temps too if your stackin.

I would like to p-pump it but that would cost a bit more than I want to spend right now. & I deff want to swap out the VP for a SO bump or the new BD one. But right now this one hase plenty of life left in it so that is on the back burner for now.

im not sure when they are comeing out with it ill ask my buddy who is a dealer for HTT... and honestly that TST has alot more power than my edge did, and ill be completly honest i had edge 150 hp jammers and a edge drag comp and it didnt fuel near as hard or pull as hard as that tst, best i could get was 40 psi out of my hx35 now im getting 45 and up with a 64/65/13 HTT,,

The only thing you can do is put in larger sticks, mach 4's are about as big as you can go with the HO pump. Putting a BB turbo as a primary is a waste of money, a S475 is enough air for any street truck. The cam will not pick-up any power unless you go all out with mods, same goes for the ported head. How much smoke do you have right now? If you have a good IP, the methanol injection will help with the egt's. How much boost you pulling out the garrett? The wastegate is set by garrett at 28psi. Pull the hose off the wastegate actuvator and put a plug into the line. If you pick-up power, that mod is free.
I couldn't really see any power improvements with my spearco IC vs stock except when I push mega air thru it, same goes for the air horn. The edge/smarty stack work nice as well.

I would do the Mach 5's and maybe the intercooler or the water. how hot does your truck get? and how long does it take to get that hot?... and what size is that turbo that you have right now 62 64 66?

It is slightly larger than a 64-71 turbo. Its like a 64.something-71.something. lol sorry forgot the exact specs. I can hit 1400-1450+ if I really try.

if you have to try to hit 1400 i wouldnt worry about it, as long as you dont hold it there for long periods of time i hit 1600 a bunch but its only for a quick second and then she cools back down, i would get the tst and then i would get that new HTT intercooler and it should keep everything inline
Then mach 5's
