When do you guys recommend installing head studs and springs? Is it necessary with the stock turbo and a heathy spray?

Are you runnin the mods in our sig with a stock turbo?

Your gonna need studs. 06Diesel lifted his head with stock turbo, injectors and just the Smarty/TST stack

you should forget the nos and put a turbo on that thing before you melt it! thats a lot of mods for the stocker.

What if i leave out the 90 hp sticks for now and just put them in when i put a turbo on? Gonna go with a silverbullet in the near future more than likely

What ever you do you need a new turbo. If you blow the stocker it could take out the whole motor. And yes I would recomend studs and springs are always a good idea while your there. You got pull the injectors to put springs in anyway so save yourself some time and do it all at once. Even if you have to wait longer to save the cash to do it all at once. I did, and I am glad I did it all at the same time (studs, spring and injectors).

that's what i'll do then going to put on the airdog 150, II cp3, 90 hp sticks, studs, springs, and as for the turbo will the HTB2 be comfortable or at its limits?

With those injectors and a smarty it will be over its limits. That is if you mean the 62/65/12. And if you want to run NO2 you would be WAY over its limits.

the 2 htb2s i was looking at are the the sled puller 66 its a 66/12 and the killer b2 its a 64/13 which would be better? I'm going to put the nitrous off for a little while and go with the turbo instead

wap,
I am in a similar mode of adding studs and springs. I am planning on adding cam, springs and studs. This is the 1st I have heard that injectors needed to come out when doing springs and studs? Why is this needed? I may want to wait to do injectors also if that is the case.
Thanks, Jeff

The injector sits in the middle of the four springs and sticks out above the top of the springs. You can't run down a spring compresser to remove the valve keys. I would imagine you could leave the injectors in if you remove the head.

The 64/13 is a way better choice. Don't get the 12 or 14 cast iron housing, spend the money on the S.S. 13 or 16.

You didn't mention how you intend to use the truck and also important is what size turbine wheel are we talking about 65-71 or (II 74).

The only 2 things Id recommend, is go w/ a bigger turbo or better yet twins, and stay away from II's CP3 pumps (read through the threads about II's pumps, they dont work to well) look at Floor-it or Wickeds CP3's

The truck is my daily driver, i never tow over 12000 lbs with it but i do tug around a trailor a good bit usually around 9000 lbs and i race it quite a bit. So i'm looking for a good towing/racing compromise. The specs i've found on the s.s. htb2 is that its a 64/65/13 also looked at a II silver 64
