Question HP advise

I've ordered a bully dog fuel pin, how much more fuel will this give me? Will I also need the injectors, and if I have both how about turbo? I have a strong automatic. I want power but i do pull with it, so i also want efficiency. What would be the best dollar for dollar after the basic pump tweaks? I'm also relatively new to forum so tell me if i'm screwin up!

best bet to save money is to cancel the bullydog and just grind your pin yourself that will save ya 140 bucks you can spend somewhere else

But if you find that your egts come on too quick, you will thank yourself up and down for not grinding your own.

How much HP are you shooting for? A man without a plan is like a ship, I mean sailboat, without a sail.

The pin with your stock turbo and injectors should be ok.

300 and you want to be realistic? Lets see, POD injectors, Gillette Diesel stage III turbo, bully Dog, a BHAF, and a freer flowing exhaust other than stock should make you hit 300hp. Now hitting 400 is a little harder.

I don't get it. I know the HI is a different engine but many are pulling 250hp+ with a turbo and pump tweaks, I'm sure the cummins can do a lot better yet the torque #'s will get silly at that much hp.
