Wow, Those #s are the best I've seen for a 305/555 engine, what kind of dyno?

 

I haven't checked on this thread in a while but, I'm glad I asked the questions I did. Alot of good info has came out on here.

I knew the heads were different b/c of the valves and flow is a bit better on the 600 and 610 motors. But, it's actually not a deciding factor. It's more the electronic and nozzles when they're in factory trim. Then with nozzles, It's just the electronics.

I brought that up b/c I'm trying to decide to sell my 03 and get a 04.5 or newer or just build what I have. Good thread though.

 

Exactly, thats the reason why I started this thread, I know my 03 makes good power, I need to get it on the dyno, but on the other hand I know that the 04.5 makes a little more power.

 

I wouldnt hesitate to trade my bombed and decked out 03 for a stock 05-06.

Thats how ive felt since a month after owning my 03.

Who wants to trade??

 

Man, I just don't get it, maybe you should ride in mine. I would only trade for one truck and it'd have to be a 4x4 5.9L and have the MegaCab! I love my truck and it RUNS like a bat outa............ I've ridden in many modded out 05s and newer, I just don't see it

 

Same here I know ive got a good dependable truck that makes decent power.

 

I'm happy with mine. Don't want it to be the fastest, but I want it to be personalized....and dependable...

 

My personal dilema is that I could pay mine off, bought it used, but I could pay it off then have that 600 a month to bomb it with, and after a certain point 800+ HP is obtainable for the same money in my 03 as it would be in a 04.5+. So, with that, why not just keep it? With my truck I know what I've got, I know it's in's and out's so...

If I only wanted 500HP then yeah, then trading it would be the better deal. But, I know my self and in time (money) I'm just wanting more power than that.

 

Is anyone else on here running the 04.5 4" exhaust elbow like myself? I wonder if anyone else thinks it was worth the hassle? I like it b/c I can run the 5" DP.

 

contact donm for some extra fuel and you will be done

 

Yes, I have the 04.5+ elbow dangling from my HTB2 to a Magnaflow 5" system designed for the 04.5 trucks. My egts are very low since the turbo install but the elbow/magnaflow didn't make a huge difference, I could still hit 1600* w/ stock turbo and Smarty/Quad stack. I had the intercooler at that time also. Turbo cooled things off big time as it should. I can't say the elbow is huge, but if your upgrading your turbo or exhaust then just do it.

 

We are running dual CP3's on this motor.

888 on fuel only.

 

03-04's can make big power...period.

Once the relm of twin CP3's and big injectors has been entered...it is pretty much equal.

 

399 with tst, afe, and open exhaust. Took the tst off and got a smarty, gonna dyno it next month.
