How Much Power!....

I have an 01 auto 4wd. I am thinking about doing these mods and wanted to get some ideas of how much power it would put down. Also how would it do as far as towing goes. And would it make a good combo I already have the super b and i want to be able to use it for towing and a play toy. mods are

Super b /S400 twins, (don't know what size B2 any ideas would be good)
drag comp/smarty,
ddp 200hp injectors,
maxspool 2 or Helix 2 cam(which would be better)
F1 pro/sportmans springs
Studs and o-rings
DTT trans

get the adrenaline instead of the smarty/drag combo. Would probably be cheaper anyways if you have to by both of the other boxes.

You would be looking at the 575-625 hp range.

Cant really comment on the towing because i dont know the weight you will be pulling.

I was going to use the smarty/drag combo because that is what i am running now and was going to run it to start with. Towing anywhere between 5,000 and 18,000lbs ?

in that case i would stick with the boxes you have. Towing wont be any problem, when you turn your boxes off.

Adrenaline is by far the best towing box out there. It has incredible egt control programming that allows you to maintain near peak HP and still control dangerous exhaust temps.

Adrenaline is by far the best peak HP box as well.

A standard b-2 should work fine and the smarty will not make any more power on the dyno stacked with the drag comp but make street driving alot more responsive. 200hp sticks will be about as big as you wanna go and still tow decent. Recomend Helix 2 due to many regrind failures. F-1 springs. 12mm ARP studs. And on the trans DTT makes a good product, but lack severly in the warranty department, Goerend is also a great trans aswell with the best warranty in the business.

The standard b-2 is that around a 74mm. As far as trans upgrades what would all be needed? Mostly daily driver and tow rig then play toy. I have a parts list i just want to check and make sure i'm not forgetting anything.

Yeah thats the standard B-2, and for a trans you would need all the internal upgrades a normal trans gets along with a billet input and also recomend a billet out put. Are you looking to get a built unit shipped to you to exchange?

I was thinking about getting all the parts and doing it but it all depends on the price of one to exchange? I already have the DTT vb.
