More mod questions

I have installed the CCV mod, AIH, HPX oil line. Will get my FASS 95 gph HPFP installed on weds. I am also looking to get my valve body upgraded with a BTS. I emailed BTS today to hear what else they think. I have a stock tranny w/ a Banks Torque Converter. I am now looking to get a turbo, HPOP, and injectors. I think I will be done after that. Let me back track. I have installed altogether: Banks Intercooler, wastegate, compressor wheel, power elbow, exhaust, DP Tuner, stock, 1200 hi-idle, 60 tow, 80 econo city, 80 econo hwy, 120 race, 140 aggressive, Banks Torque Converter, CCV mod, AIH, HPX. What else, but definetely need to know what injectors (looking at 100-120 hp gains), HPOP, and turbo. What does everyone think?

I think you've got a runnin machine from the sounds of it! You DO have gauges right!? Didn't list em. I'm guessing you do with all the other quality mods you listed. After Turbo and injectors.....you should definitely be close....or above the 400 hp mark.

Aren't you the one with the insanely high horsepower Banks powered truck? If you're doing so well with that stuff, why not keep it? 390 some horsepower, right?

I took the Banks Big Hoss module out when I installed the DP Tuner and kept the six gun tuner (turned it down to stock) as my read out. My dyno day last year is a bit confusing though. My read out (can't find it!) said 356 hp, 860 torque. That was with the Banks Big Hoss, six gun, intercooler, wastegate, compressor wheel, power elbow exhaust, transcommand, torque converter, stock fuel system, stock injectors, stock HPOP. My buddy did a calculation for me based on the weight of my excursion and the weight (simulated) that we were pulling, which was 10,000 lbs. He came up with 396, 915.......whatever. I am going to get it dynoed again some other place without my buddy doing those calculations. Sorry for rambling. I just want the most out of my powerstroke. This is why I ask about the injectors, HPOP and turbo. What works best?

I'm leaving my injectors ALONE until the day comes that I have a failure <knocks on wood> I know jack squat about them, only that they are EXPENSIVE

Leave your truck the way it is! 396hp on a calculator.. You have me beat my over 20 horsepower on real dyno... i'm running stage two's, a strong HPOP, ball bearing turbo, transmission, fuel system etc, and i can only manage what's in my sig. I'd hate to see your numbers go down after you spend all that money.

Maybe it's the Calvin pissing on it, holding my truck back from it's true power potential? Taking that off and just leaving the Banks decal, dang i could use the extra 25 hp!


Yeah, good memory, gotta fill it up while i can still remember stuff.

May be true, but you won't have any smoke with a Banks sticker!

HAHAHAHA! What is with you guys? I am just asking a question about the best turbo, injectors, HPOP and I get made fun of. Forget the dyno, I could care less about a dyno result. It seems like every time I post a thread, this forum is just looking to slam another guy to look like they are the best. A real comedian act!
