Re:Nubie Question

First of all, what year truck do you have? Fill out your personal profile so we can help you.<br>I agree with removing the tornado. JUNK.<br>If you have a 24 valve you may start with an Edge Ez. Before tranny or clutch upgrades. Cut the exhaust and straight pipe, or stack it.<br>From there, you can do numerouse things for performance.

If this is the same KwikKurt as on the DTR I'd suggest: :<br><br>A stock truck to compare with ;D<br><br>An ISX or better a N14 and bomb on from there. <br><br>And keep the blue wool seat cover. A penguin sticker on the rear window could give you some serious torque <br><br>AlpineRAM

I am testing a &quot;AWSOME&quot; 15 stage Propane system I helped develop and need the new Hybrid SouthBend Con FE Clutch setup to get it to the ground.<br><br><br>Floored IT, I hope to start the R&amp;D soon. I will probably wait as we have a couple of versions of the B-1 coming out that will address the surging issues a few trucks have with the Huge compressor we run in the B-1. We hope to have lower EGT's, Faster spooling and OFCOURSE More HP..... ;D ;D <br><br>One new Turbo (Still from the B-1 Line)that we are building will allow it to be bolted right in with no exhaust modification. That way it will accept the Turbo mount exhaust brakes!<br><br>For those of you that have been wondering the B-1's are built using mostly Switzer Turbo parts. <br><br>Kurt Yardley<br>Mild To Wild Diesel Performance inc.<br>5405-534-0434
