Night and day difference from the stocker. Looks awesome buddy! The silver air horn, valve covers and air tubes turned out sweet.

One serious upgrade in power, thats for sure. The extra bling is nice as well. I get a good deal on powder coating. I want to powder coat most of my truck one day and make it show worthy. My truck is pretty boring compared to yours and Rob's truck. Now I want a set on my truck. Just by adding a second turbo, you add about 100-150ft*lbs of torque and not changing anything else.

My 2010 truck was throwing codes today. Wouldn't stay running, but my old truck had no issues. I got a map sensor and ambient air temperature cel on the truck. First time I started the truck in about three months. Made me wish that I owned a Pee pumper truck.

Well I'm learning a thing or two about these pumps. Might almost be a Pee pumper dude one day. I think everyone who has a P7100 pump should get one of those ultra trick adjustable timing gears. Sure would make life easier. The newer trucks you just put in a programmer and wham bam, you get more timing here and less timing here. These older trucks you have to do abit of in-seat tuning

Gettin' her souped up a bit finally. lol The extra powder coating on the valve covers and air horn looks way better than the worn out black. Hopefully makes a bit more than the BD twinned 12 I ran the other day.

These twins will handle the fuel that a stock 12V pump can dishout.

A 13mm pump, you might want a bigger primary and an external gate. At that point it would be a rocket, point and shoot kinda of truck.

A well tuned up 12V is a pretty hot truck. Lots of fuel available, unlike my VP truck. Lots of stuff can be done to get even more power. A 12v seems to handle the abuse better than the 24V stuff.

We have lots of other cool stuff on the go as well more kinda top secert stuff.

I know Greg is eager to get this thing home. He wants to dyno it too. Should be a cool Summer pulling the trailers. Kudos to you guys for making it happen.

Yep good bunch of diesel heads up in Alberta. Big thanks to Rob and Mike for making sure this is setup right. Still glad I went the custom Twin route. Especially using the BB Garret. Sounds like I need one of them adjustable timing gears down the road.
