Asking for a little help here...

Well I am running everything in my signature, I have tried a few different programs from Bullydog and have not gone with any other module yet. I am still running stock sticks and fuel. I dropped back from the 2.3.0 BDTD because the truck would move out of the hole good, but then fall on it face. I am looking at adding something that will help me get my turbo Lit up a little quicker and add mid range power. I know I am going to eventually have to do a CP3 as well as injectors, but in the mean time is there anything I can do to get this thing to run with good midrange power without changing out the fuel parts? I am not oppsed at all to adding a module, just a little confused in which one to add.

Before I added the Turbo and intercooler I was 605hp and about 1400trq. with some chemical help. Would a cam and maybe some port and polich work help or do I just need to bite the bullet and Do a CP3 or FASS and some decent injectors? What are the best injectors to run with what I have in my Sig?

Thank You in Advance for all your help. I need to be able to make sure I still have decent road manners as well as the ability to tow 16k-18k with no problems.

On another note, I had a Detailer ruin my AC condensor and was wondering if anyone has any good ideas of a place to get an aftermarket unit. I would love to have it finish in bare aluminum to match my Intercooler and Radiator, but will settle for anythign at this point!

Get the TST with early twins and timing control. Then you can find a combo of settings that will help light the turbo with the BDTD.

I am currently running the BDTD 2.3.0 with low end power option on and with TST w/late twins on 2/0. With tow program it is strong from stand still until I let off. With performance or extreme it is pretty impressive except for the smoke. The new BDTD 2.3.0 actually helps light my SPS66 on the low end better than the EZ did. The early TST early twins program should also help spool the turbo a little quicker than the later twins program.

Propane and NOS are no problem together, After talking with Matt Snow, I will not run the Prop and Methanol together... Too much cylinder pressure plus you would run 70/30 mic 70 % water, might actuall extenguish a flame. So, I have just stuck to the other to chemicals for now. But since I have changed my turbo, I run out of fuel making the NOS unusable. I also noticed that with my current set-up that I run out of Rail pressure mid RPM. I used to hit about 24.5 KPSI but it seems to only run around 22.2 now. So I am definitely in need of a FASS or something along those lines in order to keep the fuel coming. I think once I haveit all dialed it it should be great...

On the 3rd gen. Dodges the CP3 is the big restriction in high horse power, you need a LOT more fuel than the current setup you have. With the Nitrous Propane , and Meth you need a lot of fuel and a lot of air.

Look into Relentless Diesel. Chris offers a hyper-drive setup for your stock CP3, then get a FASS or whatever kind of pump you choose.

You can get some injectors and cam, but they are pretty useless when the stock CP3 cannot get enough fuel to them. Definitely get some type of pusher pump. Another box would also help, like a TST, but then again if you cant get the fuel to the motor it wont work as well as it could.

Right now you need fuel, fuel, fuel.

Not gas, gas, gas.

Just checked out your pics.

That is a nice truck man, it looks like most people build there trucks at Autozone.

Yours is a good example of everything working togather.

Good job.

I am no expert but why not just throw a pusher pump on? It may not solve all your problems but it sure would help. If your are talkin cams and head work why not just spend the 400 or so on a pump and be done.

Crashcade, You are suffering from lack of fuel get a strong lift pump and then the TS MP8 that you can adjust infinitely to tune. TST would be nice but won't help your down low fueling and will definitely hurt your midrange fueling. ks

Before I add any more Fuel Pumps? Would I benefit from somewhere around a 90hp set of sticks?

I personally wouldnt even run what you are running allready on the stock pump, good way to ruin a perfectly good engine. I am allready upgrading to a fass 150/95 and I dont have half the stuff you do,,(YET)

That picture in front of the cliff with the bikes on the roof is awesome! It looks like it was taken by a professional photog for a brochure or something?
