i got a new trans and i wanna do some power improvments i really like the tst power max3 and i wanna stack it with smarty. i have heard that is the stack for the vp trucks . i plan on gettin a air dogg pump then order a tst powermax3 i was wondering if i would need to stud the head before i decided to stack the power max with smarty i running a stock turbo also . i was wondering if someone with this setup could tell me how much boost they are making. there is alot people around my area and some are dodges but there is one ford six oh no that just runs his mouth and blows smoke all over me i just wanna shut him and all the other ford boys that think they best any ideas would be appriciated thanks

 

If your staying with the stock turbo and you don't have bigger injectors then you won't need to stud the head. I have a pm3/ez I have stock injectors, I only make 20lbs of boost becouse I haven't bothered to put in a boost elbow or anything. With the stock turbo and a boost elbow I would guess around 30-35 lbs of boost, but it will probably get pretty hot.

 

yup you dont need head studs if your keepin stock turbo. i have powrmax/ez stack as well and make 38-40lbs boost wit everything on kill. and i have never been able to get th pyro above 1200 deg. thats a 0-100 run. and o yea you will be al over that ferd. my buddy has built auto 7.3 and i can catch him an pass him. haha. good luck

 

ha thanks alot i cant wait bu ti have to save up money to get it that trans hurt me so it probably be two months before i get thanks alot

 

i have stock turbo, head bolts and injectors with that stack and its good so far. can hit 40lbs easy and have seen 44. temps get pretty warm (14-15) sometimes. an auto might be a little different from a stick
