ok, I havent done a whole lot, (or, well, Greg hasent ) but what has been done, includes a 4inch DP and straight pipe exhaust, starwheel bottomed out, fuel pin turned, 2 turns on the diaphragm, and a few full turns on the fuel screw.
I managed to miss the events this year I had planned for a dyno run, so im just a little curious as to what u guys think the HP and Torque numbers might be. This is the 93 in my signature. Im shooting for 400 usable HP and as much torque as possible 800 LB. FT. perhaps?
(unless the bug really bits good, then its all out power!)

 

220-250 hp, 500-600 ft-lbs.

400 usable HP? You would need a healthy set of injectors (custom EDM) and a turbo(s) to match.

A set of POD's, a turbo upgrade, some pump tuning, and maybe a clutch would put you into the low to mid 300's with high 600's low 700's torque.

 

Check Wannadiesels sig.

 

I plan on HTT stage IV, 14CM exhaust side, EDMs, water/meth, and propane. A clutch is deffinatly in order as well. Maybe if its needed a larger intercooler to boot. I was doing some reading around here today and im looking into doing a big fuel line kit to keep the IP with a good supply of fuel, so the piston pump swap is in order. This seems like it should get me to my goal.
I just dont want to smoke like a freight train, im looking to get 400 with minimal smoke, like a semi, some smoke till the turbo spools up then good clean exhaust, but dont get me wrong, I love a good cloud of soot when I want it. so im willing to make sacrifices

 

Propane and lots of fuel is just begging to pop the head gasket. Propane is OK in small amounts on mostly stock trucks, but add a lot of fuel and timing and it'll bite you quick. I can get as much propane as I want for free and I don't use it - that should tell you something.

You haven't picked a big enough turbo. You need an HTB2 at a minimum. If you want it usable for towing at 400 HP you need twins.

Don't bother with the piston pump. Just put on a Walbro setup. Much better fuel pressure for the money.

 

Ok, well that answered my question on the other post! And twins u say, ay? WORKS for me!
Im working toward kind of a resto on the 93 this winter being as that much torque on demand, 2 wheel drive, open rear diff. and snow just isnt a very good combo to keep out of the ditches and trees!
So I have a few mods planned this winter, head studs, and a fire ringed head, maybe porting and polishing as well r planned to keep that head gasket well seated. Ive been dying to do a resto on something ever sence my grandfathers old '57 T-bird, and this is going to be it.
Thanks for the info!

 

You don't have to worry about the ditches and trees if you can't get out of the driveway. Duals and a powr-lok axle don't help any, believe me.

 

LOL yeah, I shoulda mentioned that fact, should I get out of the driveway first!

 

Once the snow turnes to permanent ice on my driveway I have to lock her in every night just to get home.
