Thumbs up Performance Questions

I Have A 99 F250 6speed Reg Cab W/3.73 Gears-i've Added A Volant Cold Air Intake-magnaflow 4'' Turbo Back Exhaust-dp Tuner(5 Postion)truck Works Good But What Is My Next Mod-willing To Spend The Money As Long As The Power Comes With It-not Worried About Fuel Mileage Either. I've Been Thinking About Hypermax Injectors And Their Turbo-any Suggestions Or Help Would Be Helpful.

Next step is a turbo, intercooler and injectors... Turbo, H2e is nice but $$$ about $2400. Turbonetics is about $1300... GTP-38r is $1600... These are all hi numbers but ball park.

Injectors are going to be anywhere from $1600-$2600

Intercooler... sperco $1300 DIIC $1300-$1400

Before you do injectors, i would do a fuel system, so you don't starve the engine. And plan on upgrading the clutch with more power!

What do you think Kris, one fuel pump with kitchen sink drain fittings as sump feeds per cylinder head with 1/2" line?
Couple of spin on fuel filters on the frame rail, one for each side and you're going to have enough fuel for a freight train.

my 99 is an early 99 (build date 10/98) so i believe the only company making a turbo upgrade for early 99s is hypermax? anyone else know anyone making turbos for early 99s?

No, you will need to upgrade to a later model turbo pedestal, intake manifolds, Y pipe and up pipes. But the cost for a Hypermax kit is about $2400. You could get the GTP-38r or Turbonetics turbo and all those parts for about $2000. There is nothing wrong with the H2e, one of the best turbos out there. You might find it a little laggy without injectors but that can be fixed with a reburned chip(pull the fuel down a bit).

Why go so small???? Don't they have threaded iron pipe and fittings up there, maybe in 3/4 or 1 inch and maybe a 5hp sump for a fuel pump ..... Geesh, some guys just dream small. Now where's my train tracks

where can i get these later model intake parts-does anyone sell a kit? i thought i go with hypermax just because they also offer injectors-i talked to hypermax and they claim if i add their turbo and stage 1 injectors i'll be around 425bhp and 1000ft-lbs seems high to me what do you think?
