What to do next?

Ok guys need some help deciding on a christmas present from the wife, my current modds are in my sig, i have a deal worked on a 62 sized turbo so im just tryin to decide what to do next. My future plans have changed a bit and im thinking for this truck 650-700 range!
I was thinking about a cam, a second CP3 is what i really want but wont be able to get the kit for duals for awhile till i save the money.

So lets here some options fellas!! What would be your next move with the modds i have now?


Thanks,
Buddy

Stix or more turbo a 62 won't support 650-700 unless in a twins setup. You can get that turbo rebuilt for xmas.

Sticks, and then a turbo to support them. Your turb that you have now will struggle

Fellas im aware that a 62 wont support that kinda power, i just cant pass up the deal on the turbo! Injectors will come later when i have twins or at least a bigger turbo. Thats why im lookin at a cam or a second CP3.
Im thinkin a cam?

Yeah you could have it built up to a 64, but if twins are in the future and you want to use it as a primary you will either have to a)have it rebuilt twice or b)keep it how it is now and just wait for twins. I don' think you will want a 64 in a twin setup. The 62 wheel will do much better in twins. You can keep the truck around 500hp for now and bump up when you get the money.

Rip112 thats what i was thinkin as far as the twins setup, 62 over S480 maybe. I dont have the turbo yet so im not in a big hurry for anything but i think a cam will be my best bet right now.
I dont wanna spend money on a modded CP3 when i plan duals and dont wanna do injectors till later so thats why im thinkin about a cam or a second CP3.
Man i just dont know what to do.

Yeah I know, they're all pricey items and you want to do what will be best for now. Go with the cam. I assume you are aware of labor costs on a cam swap? I'm sure you thought of all the other related stuff to having extra mods so I'll shut up! lol

Never done it myself but I do know there is ALOT to take off and ALOT to keep up with. But if you've done em as many times as LLoyd Mills has then its a half day job.

Well I would say do the cam then if you want or anything else support wise you will need in the future. Studs? Or you could always save the money to put towards twins, pump, and sticks later... i know that is a silly idea though. LOL
