Talk to John @Majestic Turbo here in Waco. 254-757-3759...he is very thorough when trying to find what you are looking for power wise. He will give you every option he has available and the prices are extremely reasonable. I upgraded to a 62/65 for $1200!!! It is very quick spooling and makes power on up into the higher rpm range. If you have anymore questions shoot me a pm and I'll try to answer your needs.

600 will be hard to do on stock sticks, for fuel flow and turbo spool reasons.

A 63/68/12 would be the easiest to spool with stock stick and still move a lot of air!

i called industrial injection and they recommend the Sliver 62...says it's good to 650hp and can be used in a twin setup if wanted. I believe it's 62/80 or the Thunder 330 but he said it would be laggy...

I'll give majestic a call..thanks guys!

I finally ended up with a HTT 62/71/13ss for my turbo with future plans to use it in twins if I wanted. My numbers and mods are in my sig. I have a stock CP3 and injectors. Good luck.

staarma,

your dyno numbers are very close to what i want to achieve. Looks like the only extras you have that i don't are a big line kit and the edge hot. i have an air dog and Smarty POD...thinking maybe i should try to find a Van aken to stack with smarty..i want to keep my stock sticks as long as possible.

I honestly don't think the Silver 62 is DRIVEABLE up to 650 hp. I have one, and even with Flux 2s, Helix 2 and many air flow mods, it still is laggy, smokey, and not very forgiving. I will say that once it lights, it hits pretty hard, but you have to drive it for a while and learn its qwerks to keep from blacking out the road.

That's one reason I've kept my hot juice after all these years. I can turn it down on the fly and not smoke at all. The EZ with pressure and a little timing from the Smarty Jr. are all I need for spool with my 6 speed. When someone gets cute or I'm towing it goes right to level 6.

I've ran with and without my EZ for added rail pressure. On my truck with my setup, I've found the increased rail pressure is what makes or breaks the spooling. I have a 6 speed though so that makes a difference too.

TX, look at my mods list. I'm running close to 600, but with sticks. I'm not sure if it can be done without bigger sticks. Gotta have the fuel.

Oh man...i hope with my setup it's not laggy or smoky...i'm trying to use up the fuel that i'm not using now by going with a better turbo!

C*&p!
