Help me get my old 12v be a lil bit faster!!

Hey everyone, i have a 1994 1500 4x4 dodge truck with a 97 12v engine in it (215hp) i have it lightly modded it has aprox 500-600 hp im not very sure cause we dont have a dyno near around here it has new era's 435 injectors, 4k gsk, home made twins (hx35/ht3b) #0 plate and high flow DV's..the best i did was 13.5 seconds 1/4 mile with a 5 speed manual, (thats at 6000 ft. elevation) im converting it to a automatic now with a full goerend transmission also 4x4..but im looking for more power like 800hp on diesel only so i was hoping someone could help me find the right parts and see what i need..im willing to spend enough Buckz

looking at it run, i think you need more fuel. smoke almost clears... specially since you wanna go bigger on chargers.
I think its time for some mayor pump modding, like sending it to a good pump shop...
even though big HP has been made on a 215 pump. someone else with more info should shime in here...

Id say you need a bigger top turbo (62/71/13ss) and a bigger bottom turbo (S480).
I would keep the injectors, and get some pump work.

Whats your timing set at?

You will probably lose a second going to an auto.

ok your saying lose a second going to an auto.. do you mean is it gonna be lower or higher at a 1/4 mile? Sorry i didnt get it.. LOL
And about my timing i dont have the tool set for that, but when the engine and the pump both are at the mark i spin the engine about 1/2 inch reverse, thats how i leave it, does it make any sense to you?

He means you'll be faster in the 1/4 mile with an auto.

that truck will be very very fast with an auto and a built pump.Id go with a 13mm pump and like it was said ,a bigger set of chargers like a b1/b2 set .Im not sure those injectors will be big enough ,but they are a pretty good size.properly set up that truck should run 10's in the 1/4
