Hey there, I was just wondering what would be the Ultimate 12 Valve Set up for our trucks for a good balance between reliability, fuel mileage and awesome power?

 

Twins

 

the balance gets better and better the more money you spend!

I've had more and less, 300-350 at the rears is fun for daily driver/ tower.

 

with twins that number jumps to 500-550

i was thinkin 350-425.....
and more so of parts to get to the balanced set up as far as injectors, pump mods, exhaust and the such...

 

I am with you diesel_kid.. I named this truck "project 400" when I bought it. I want to have a daily driver as well as some good power when I need it.

I've already made my list of parts. Now just to find the $$$$$

 

This is what I got for parts now.

Exhaust T-304 5" Straight
Gauges - Pyro, Boost, Tranny Temp, Fuel Pressure, Intake Temp.....(see post 6 holes to fill)
4000 GSK w/ HD Springs
#10 Plate or A100 Type plate as mentioned by other members for 400 hp area
ATS 3-Peice Manifold
Bosch 370 Marine Injectors
Laser Cut 191 Delivery Valves
215 Pump to replace 160
Homemade Ram air with AH-19004 BHAF
HX35/40 Hybrid (Dont know If It will be enough...)
PDR Custom Ground Camshaft
Advanced Timing

Thats just for the engine, Should this be good for my 400/900 mark and be a solid reliable setup? Any suggestions would be greatly appreiciated. Thanks

I made 321 to the ground with my setup.

 

Diesel kid: There is no good reason to spend the dough on a 215 pump if all you want is 400hp. The 160 with 191 dv's will push a rude amount a fuel - way more than enough for 400hp. There are guys running 500hp with a 160 - After that you have to swap pumps or get your 160 built right. Also, if you put a 215 on you don't need the 191 dv's - the 215 already has 180's stock that will support alot of fuel. Look at my sig: it's an easy 350hp - with stock injectors AND gets BETTER mileage than stock. The PDR cam is for the big boys looking for huge power. These cams will potentially push cylinder pressures through the roof and may not be the best setup for a mild street setup.
