Question's about power?

I have some questions on this. I am currently running tst power max 2 stacked with ez. right now i am pushin 332 hp and 770 torque, I want to add injectors. I was thinking something like 50 to 75's if it would help any. I have a friend that will sell me his 150's at a good price but if i was to add the 150s would i have to get a different turbo from stock, could that stock turbo handle that power and if i was to get a different turbo i was thinking something like that htb3 maybe, right now this is starting to add up on $$$ but i'm am just looking toward the future.

If you put 150's in your truck I would think for sure you will need a bigger lung.

What kind of boost and how hot are your egt's getting as it sits now?

You can definitely drive with those injectors, but it will get hot and smokey. An HT3B is a good turbo for a primary if you're gonna do twins. If you're gonna stay with a single, a phat shaft or HTB2 might be more your style.

The phatshafts are very simular to the Htb2 line- they are both based off the same turbo.

With 35 lbs of boost on the stock turbo with decent temps you are right on the upper edge of what it can reasonably handle.

Decide how much power you want to try for, buy the appropriate clutch, then go for the big sticks and turbos

get the 150 hp nozzles... very resonably priced, a definite power increase and u wont have to worry bout getting a bigger turbo right away... i ran mine stock turbo w/ just edge, stacks and gauges... worked great, no overheating problems at all... then u grow out of it.. haha its like when u buy one thing, u have to buy more and/or better... on going process with these things.. just like now, i'm looking into mach 5s or 6s... just gotta watch ur clutch for sure... i felt my stock clutch slippin a bit runnin it hard.. esp in higher gears...

I would get the 150's... but would also send your PM2 in to get upgraded to a PM3 so you have adjustability. That way you can turn to TST down to work with your turbo, till you can go bigger!
