The Fummins is one fun truck but I need More Power. Do I need to Upgrade to a Bigger Turbo housing first? The one there is What, a 3 inch? and I need a 4 inch? Correct? I havent Ground the Foot yet or done the fuel pin but I have been running 50/50 Meth/water and its a Kick in the butt. In That video I was just running Windshield wiper Fluid and its not much of a kick.

You can replace the hybrid turbo with an HX-40 or an HTB2, that will get you a 4" outlet. If you can't control the EGT with the hybrid, you need a bigger turbo before you add more fuel.

Oh, is that all?

You could grind the AFC lever, but doesn't Colorado make you do a smog test? A truck with a ground lever doesn't have a prayer of passing. Go over to the Diesel Central board and get in touch with KTACummins. He has had a few 14mm pump heads made up, he may still have some left. He's well over 500 HP on straight #2.

As long as you don't grind the stock pin so much that it breaks, you can't hurt anything. Just make the deep part as deep as you think you can without weakening the pin too much. Leave the big end alone. A ground stock pin will not cause a leak.

Yeah, you just want to make the deepest part as deep as you can, but keep a smooth curve going down into it. You want a nice finish like what's there now when you are done.

A dremual tool and some emery cloth and start polishing. Maybe use a 120 grit to start and move to 300 grit. As I have never done what you are wanting to do what I am suggesting may not work in your case.

I actually had really good luck using my dremel tool as well...when the "grind" was done, I used one of the included "felt" polishing wheels and some polishing compound....darn thing came out looking like buffed chrome....worked real good...go for it...
