I Have A 96 Cummins I Get 35 Pounds Boost But When I Take Off It Does Not Move.the Truck I Mean.really Sluggish. What Do I Do?also What Mods Do I Have To Do To Get 400hp And About How Much$

 

Could It Be My Timing And How Do I Do My Timing Myself

 

Do you get any boost on takeoff? Any smoke on takeoff? What did you do to it to get the 35# boost?
EGTs?
Manual or auto tranny? If auto, stock TC? how many rpm whne you want to get moving?

Lots of questions to get to something close to a good diagnosis...

Yup!

Fill in your signature so we know what you have...and so others can give specific advise.

i have an automatic .bought the truck as is .only thing i have installed is gauges and a track bar.off the start i get no boost then it kicks in after a few seconds.exhaust temp runs about 600 cruising but sencor installed after turbo on exhaust.i dont know if the truck had any mods before i got it except for an afe intake sysstem.ifilled out my signature but it did nt post how do i do that?

 

Your egt temp is the same as mine.600* at 70 mph.Sorry I cant help you on the 400 hp, I am shooting for 300-350 hp

 

Sounds like it's been modified...based on the air intake & the 4" exhaust. Possible that you have a larger turbo or a larger turbine housing, resulting in slower spoolup.
Those EGT's are high, I think...if it's truly 600*, post turbo, and on level ground...just maintaining 60 or 70 mph?
Need to find someone in your area who knows CTD's and can tell you what you have. I would post again...for help in your specific area. Are you Redding PA or Calif?

400 horses simplest way, since u have an exhaust already

100 or 0 plate
GSk 3 or 4K rpm
370 injectors
Laser cut delivery valves
timed pump at 16-17 degrees (possibly higher)
BHAF or Scotty II
Hybrid 35 turbo or larger or an H2BT


as far as pump timing goes, Dodgeram.org has a good article in the procedure, here you go..

timing helped my truck a TON in this regard.

 

i also have egr and a cat on my 4 inch exhaust does this hurt my performance alot

 

EGR? I doubt it. Yes, the cat could be plugged, hampering flow.

Sure it's not just a muffler? Never seen an aftermarket exhaust with a 4" cat.

 

yeah i think its egr it comes out of exhaust manifold and into my air horn

 

Oh, sorry, I forgot that the CA trucks had EGR was it? yuk.
