Id recommed stage 2 injectors with a hypermax h2e turbo and also you should add an intercooler while your at it. A larger fuel system and headstuds are not needed, but recommended. With the mods i recommeded i dynoed 420 rwhp and a little over 800 rwtq and it was a towing beast!
I haven't dynoed my truck do to it being in pieces, but my research has shown this to be a pretty common number with stage 2's. This is the easiest path to success with continues power.

I think reliable 400 is doable. I made 354hp on fuel only with stage 1's and some supporting mods. 377 on spray, and I have since upgraded IDM's. I need to dyno again, but I would say I'm closing in on 400. My truck is very reliable but I wonder because I beat it all the time.



rtx, tubzz, It's nice to see you guys over here. I've always found your info pretty helpfull over there. I just don't like all the BS over there. Anyway, welcome, and I hope we see alot of yall.

Luke, I noticed the other day Mr. Casserly poked his head in here too. That was nice to see.

thanks man...

I know 400 is doable, and reliable, I,m at 435 fuel only, with my daily driver burn
and I run it there all the time, tony just gave me another burn
last weekend that pulls a little harder with better shift points, I want to dyno it as soon as I get a chance...

400 is definatly doable and reliable at the same time. Back when i was running stage 2's with the h2e (420 rwhp) the truck towed awesome and was pretty quick on the street. Best part was that I had 0 broke parts in over 20k miels with that setup.

Hell i didnt know cass was even registered over here, ive never seen him post up.

It looks like Bean's is the way to go; I can simply opt for their 500 Hp package deal! Now all I need to do is find the truck.
