I'm looking to get my truck up to 500 Hp over the summer. Right now I'm just wanting to gather some information on buying the right stuff. My truck has 373 Hp now the way it sit. I want to do the right modifications so it wont harm my truck. I would like it still to be my daily driver , tow rig , and street performer. can you guys help or point me to the right parts. I know I'm going to need a clutch I just have the stock one in and it slips sum when the chip its turned up.

 

Here are some suggestions: (if $$$ were no issue)

*South Bend Clutch + Hydraulics (dual disc is what I'd go with)
*150 HP injectors
*Twin Turbo setup from Performance Car / Truck (Golden, CO)... ask for Max. He's a guru on these engines / turbo's.
*Camshaft upgrade

 

Just add a set of mach 4's and a htt 64-71-14 and a DD clutch and you will be at 5 and some change.

 

What do you guys think about head studs, I was thinking I'm going to need them

 

Ernie did over 500HP with Mach 4's, HX40 and Comp.
But with the HO VP44 i don't know what it'll do. Swap in a SO VP44.

 

I dont know where I'm at for HP or TQ but putting the DD3600 was a big night and day diff from other clutches. from southbend. over time I out grew the other clutches. so my advice if you can go with a DD clutch the first time. I would say studs and possible o-ring's. springs or cam? I'm still pondering my self. if I want to do it. I dont tow much anymore. BUT with the HO vp this is a limiter. I dont know when it comes time if I will just go up to mach 5's or want to mess with a SO and possible problems. or go with a bigger timed VP.

 

Don't worry about that until you dyno it, swaping pumps is not cheap!!

 

anyone have ideas on what I would be close to on Hp and Tq with my set up just wondering. last time I dynoed was with 90 injectors and a slipping clutch 2 years ago. now I have mach 4's and a DD. just wondering if I would be around 500 hopefully. mach 5's probley would break 500. just wondering thanks
