I finally got my truck setup about where I wanted, but after a couple sled pulls this year I realize that I need more power to compete (have you guys heard that before? ) . I've got everything in my sig, as well as a stage 3 HTT upgrade to the turbo and a 16 cm housing. What is going to be my best bet for more power now? I'd like to stay with the turbo I have right now, I might get a stage 4 wheel and have someone machine my housing to fit, but other than that I need the turbo to stay close to stock so I can get into stock class.

Right now I'm thinking some laser cut DV's and run some stealthy water injection (probably 15% meth). I'd like to bump my timing up to about 18*, too. What do you guys think? I don't want to get too crazy but I'd sure like to compete better next year...

 

Yeah some nice Dv's would help you out great and some lite water meth mix would probably be your best bet to get more power and stay in the stock range.

 

Talk to Garrett at www.puredieselpower.com He can give you some ideas on what setup to run. His phone # is on the site.

 

If I were you; Id go for some 191's. My personal opinion is that Laser cut DV's are really just too much for a stock turbo. It can be ran like that, but 370's, and laser cuts is a LOT of fuel on a stock turbo. What are your EGT's like right now, Matt? Id like to set mine up about like you have yours, and probably keep my 181 DV's. I just need the 370's, and upgrade my HX35 to the stage 3 HTT(and the rest of the tranny ).

Laser cuts are a blast with the stock turbo.. Things get toasty REAL quick though:
