ultimate PSD

OK guys, i hear there's this guy that races his Cummins down at the local 1/4 mile dragstrip and has been beating everyone.
Here's my situation: in about 2 years my warranty will be up so i want to take about $15G and put a lot more oommppf in my PSD. I'm talking about pulling the motor out and having at it. Going to blueprint and balance.
My idea of mods:

1) fuel system: external regulated system with high performance pump.
fuel/air seperation system, 500 series huge Jazz injectors.

2) exhaust system: dual 5" stacks with my SS 4" system.

3)Engine systems:Stealth HPOP, forged/billet connecting rods, forged head studs,HP crossover line, as previously mentioned balanced and blueprinted motor,ceramic coating on pistons

4)induction system: Hypermax H2E turbo with optimum housing sizing for a 1/4 mile run, AFE Stage 2 system wuth the Proguard Media.

5) Tranny: BTS or ATS w/triple lok converter.

6)electronics: DP custom tuned chip for all these mods w/ extreme setting.

7)water/methanol injection (50/50) mix @ optimum flow rate.

8)traction control: need info on best tire/ suspension mods.

What do u think? Got to plan for the future.

sounds like fun but.... think you're gonna need more than $15 large though.... money goes REAL fast when you modding a PSD like you're talkin. double your money figure and then you might get close to getting everything done on your list. ALSO - you might want to add something to your list to keep the heads on with the boost you'll be making.

He's got head studs listed. I don't think 15k is going to be enough. I put 10k in mine last year and need another 10k to be where I want.

He mentioned forged/billet connecting rods. I'd go for the billet while your at it. And instead of the Stealth HPOP look into the Terminator.

Terminator seems to be a good pump, they just had a recall on them to replace a shaft or something. But all the new ones have the bugs fixed. If i was to get big oil, i'd probably go with the terminator. Spend some time searching and questioning on that other diesel stop website, lot of higher hp guys over there with lots of info.
