Ok I will say this again.... I have a stock turbo with a BD-Power Turbo Boost Builder Wastegate and upgraded wheel. The injectors are 230cc split shot ATS injectors with a TS 6 position adjustable chip. I also have a FASS fuel system , the truck is red, the tires are black.

What year is your truck? Or did I miss that part. I know the blocks with the Powdered metal rods are not good over 390/400 HP. and those are in 01 and newer I think. Not sure what the forged rods can hold.

No, I don't think 400 will destroy a factory block but you have to be careful how you make it. I am under the impression that making it higher in the rpm range is the way to go, higher HP with lower torque until it is twisting. Too much Tq down low and that seems to toast PMRs and even forged rods.
I don't think you will be able to hurt your block with a stock turbo. Yeah this doodad and wheel but still stock. Just be careful. Stock stuff tries to build power down low with lots of Tq. Not sure you can hurt it but who knows. Heck, I may end up windowing mine even with my laggy turbo that really comes on up top.

Tenn01PSD350,
I will be visiting Murfreesburo this summer or fall for a horse show do you know of any shops with a dyno? If so maybe you would like to run your 500#s at the same time to make sure the dyno is right.

Again, I don't see how you can go to the next level without the air required. This is a math formula available on the Garrett site. You can throw all the fuel you want at something but it is to no avail unless it can be combusted eficiently. Black smoke out the exhaust looks cool but makes no more power and is a waste of $$$

BTW, by higher RPMs, I was referring to the 22-3500 RPM range. Anything over 3k probably risks some valve float in a stock application. They sell better springs for that.

Where did you learn all this Mike? PSN teach you alot?
I believe the same goes for the stock forged units as well which can be damaged by the same thing with inappropriate tuning. I won't know for sure until I get out to the track and then the dyno. Not going to just beat on it on the street for now. Well, maybe a little bit.

I understand that you must have more air along with fuel to optimize power output but was trying to just get by with the upgraded stock turbo until I learned more about the turbos available on the market. And no I dont want black smoke boiling from my exhaust, I want the truck to be as efficient as possible making every bit of fuel count. I was thinking that the stock turbo would hold together until I found the right one for my application and I needed the truck asap. I did see the high pressure performance valve spring kit and am debating on wether or not that I need it. I understand that these new spring would help prevent floating a valve on the top end but would the stock lower handle the RPM's that the valves would be suited for?
