[quote author=Timinva link=board=7;threadid=7300;start=0#70047 date=1037818671]<br>Justin, what kind of power do you get stacking the ez with PM3? Is it especially hard on the head gasket? Im really leaning towards the PDR Hx-40 but I am gonna try it with my stock hx35 and see what temps and smoke are like first. Tim <br>[/quote]<br><br>Timinva, I stacked and EZ on with my PM2 this summer and it really made a big difference on low end. Justin is right TST's PM boxes are just fueling boxes no timing adjustments are made with them. <br><br>Just do a little test and put the PM3 on and drive it for about a week or so, (till you get kinda used to it) then stack the EZ on in front of it and you will notice a dramatic difference. I'm really happy with the set up but I'm in need of some more horses now. I gotta get that clutch first though. :<br><br>DB

Kat, I have 3.54 gears and 305/70/16 Nitto tires. I am geared a little high w/ these tires. 75mph is about 2000rpm. Tim

Tim<br>[/quote]<br><br>In all honesty I think the HX40 is a better choice for you considering your gear ratio, and tire size......hopefully it will provide the least amount of lag. And if you want to increase your HP then you can probably safely do so upto 500hp or so.

Re:Which turbo at 400-425 hp?

I would say that the HP limit of the Piers Super turbo with the 16 housing is somewhere between 525-550HP. I am right at 500 right now and there is alittle room left for more ;D. And I've been thinking about getting a 18CM2 housing from Piers to see if I can stretch it some to get the $ together for Twins ??? : 8) ;D.

Re:Which turbo at 400-425 hp?

Just so you know.....I have a similar setup (dd111's and comp) and the PDR HX40 can't keep the EGT's low enough in the summer. I hit 1500* easy when empty Piers did tell me that I would still have EGT problems though, when I bought the turbo so I can't complain, and say I didn't know better. Now that its winter though I can keep it to the floor at 5X5 with a 6K trailer behind me. ;D However I am thinking it may still be useful with a twin
