How much HP can be made?

Just out of idle curiosity, how much power can someone make with 370's? I'd like to keep these injectors for a while if I can. Also, I don't seem to have the idle haze everyone seems to talk about. Not complaining, just wondering if it more or less varies by truck.

With the 215 pump you could be into the mid 400's.

I suppose with some aggressive delivery valves, which you probably already have, should be close to that as well I would think. A different turbo for sure.

The most I know of is Matt Wells. He and Garmon found a sweet spot.. He had a super simple setup. It was 370's, 5k GSK, stock DV's, stock springs, stock head gasket, stock head bolts, and a larger housing on the exhaust side of the stock turbo. Then they set the timing.. He pulled his fifth wheel to the track, raced, then pulled it home.. Never changed the tuning. I know he was doing 12.20's with that combo, and may have gone quicker. It made 501-1400 on Dunbars' dynojet dyno. I bought the housing to go with the same setup for my 94, then decided I'd like to be 600 instead of 500.. He ran that combo for a long time before he went to a larger charger..

Your HX35W is the turbo.

The 215 pump is an injection pump.
Since you have a 1996 or later with the 5 speed, it should be a 215 pump. Unless it is a CA truck-- those trucks often had lower ratings like 180 even with 5 speed.
