ya mike knows what he 's talkin about you need gauges and if you dont have a clutch obviously gonna need one. i think a htt 62/13/71 series it doesnt sound like he is worried about the money. its a really nice turbo and will work well. i have towed just over 30k and my truck did alright.but that was with twins, it seemed pretty hard on the drive lines but its dana so im not to worried. i think it will do pretty good, they are expensive, but a 35/40 i would say is a waste of money, because when you want to upgade injectors or boxes. then yourr eventualy going to need soem new blow, because the 35/40 cant cool. so i would go a little big,in the 62/12,13,14/71 and that will dool better etc....

OK guys, I thought I would resurrect this thread since I am finally doing the finishing touches on my "Project Pops" build-up. I ended up going with a SuperHX-40 from HTT, 4" MBRP exhaust, a new complete top side gasket set, and a Stage 1 Port and polish for the head.
Ever since I put the 275RV injectors in about 5 years ago they have always loped. Now it is really bad, so I plan to replace them with Jammer 3s. Anyone have problems with those injectors like this?
I will post pics soon.

He has always ran Amsoil, you can definatley tell by how well everything looks at over 150k miles....
This truck had alot of leaks
Exhuast, oil, boost, and head gasket all blown

To help this motor out I did a little port and polish work on the exhuast side of the head
....
Here is before>>
Here is after>>
Heres a nice shot of the radiator before it was cleaned believe it or not it washed up pretty nice and gets to go another 150k++++
Here is the completed motor all washed up with new turbo, exhuast, gaskets,and port job...

So once I got it all put together I got the Pops loaded up and let em give it a whirl, although he was a little hesitant in the rain he finally let go and played around a bit
Once it dried up we found a little problem..... now his new clutch slips
Time for a dual disk

OK I just thought I would update on the build again... I got the Jammer 3s installed after the 275's finally bit the dust.
It idels way better than before and has made a few ponies along the way.
Now I am just waiting for the Quadzilla Race box to become available and we will be ready to rock and roll.
