I really want to get to that 400 mark, but I think I'll stick with the more conservative range for now. If it goes, it goes. Then I build a CTD for it. I look at it this way, if it goes, it was meant to, and a CR Cummins is cheaper than a new truck. If it doesn't, then I'll have fun with it anyway.
I was the one that asked, I would like to go down the same path your talking about. Its got me thinking about just saving up for a 5.9 but I prolly will at least go with the Van turbo...
