Looking at the chart, I wondering why with TNT-r the run didn't go to 4k and why the hp/ tq fell off past 3k. If thes the case, why get a cam? I'm not bashing, just confused.....

Those runs were made with the standard 3500 rpm file. Remember they were done for a before and after comparison between the stock cam/springs and aftermarket pieces. I wouldn't twist Buddy's motor to 4K without his permission on stock parts. So, to be fair with the comparison I made the pulls afterward with the same set up.

I did however load the 4K tune on the run when I used software level 9. Unfortunately the truck did not make as much power so I did not bother to post the graph. I also did not take it to 4K on that run. It was only loaded with the 4K tune to see if it would fuel any harder up on the top end.

Bswope, your running a crank driven fuel pump. Right? I'm just asking why the truck fell off at 3k and with tntr you can run 4k. I would love to have a cam and springs intalled. But if it's not going to pull to 4k, then why do it. Please understand I'm just asking questions! I have about 2k miles till I hit 100k. I have a turbo from Loyd and fuel system ready to go in. I want cam and springs I just wondering if is worth it.

Well i'm not real sure, i have a set limit i want to spend right now, i need to talk to Lloyd to talk about labor rates so i can figure that in to get the most done that i can and still be able to pay him for his wonderful talent, all i have now is a smarty, 5" exhaust, intake and a dual disk, i have a airdog that i am going to try to put on this weekend, so my initial plan was to get a stage 3 pump, headstuds, and valve springs, save somemore money, go see him again and get a charger and injectors. You have any suggestions for me, i am still undecided for the most part!

Cam will reduce egts and help spool. Not sure how much a cam helps as far as rpm. Programming is in control on how these cr perform after 31-3200.

Lloyd believe it or not thats the first time my my truck has ever seen SW#9 on any of the Smarty files..... I didnt figure it would make any more power on that VS SW#7 so I never loaded it.

Hmmm..... wonder how easy it would be to talk me into a set of Flux's right now!!!!!!

Sniper what kinda power you looking for and what do you want to do with the truck??

Your certainly headed in the right direction and far as insurance (studs&springs) Id add a coolant bypass to that list for more insurance...
and the Stage 3 pump is a good I dea as well if your looking for power levels above 700!! A Floor It stage 3 is on my list as well as sticks!!

As far as a turbo im gonna suggest a 64/17/13ss! That charger is really starting to impress alot of people and it is quickly becoming the turbo of choice for ALOT of guys.... It is capable of 600-650hp with the right setup.
But its all up to you on what kinda power your looking for and what it is you will be doing with the truck!!

to be honest with you buddy, i hardly even use the mp-8. i have the smarty set to stock rp and use the mp-8 for all adjustments. however i only turn the mp-8 up to maybe 10%....any higher and it's too high for daily driving. If i'm just cruising along and turn the dial up i can feel an increase but until i get it on a dyno i won't know how much of an increase it actually makes. i suspect that it wont be much though. i kind of wish i would have saved the mp-8 money on something else. like maybe a water/meth kit or the avenger UMOD whenever shane releases it.
