ya, I would cryo the block for sure because the motor will be outta the truck for plenty of time to have it done. And this planning isn't for my DD it is for my little project that I'm planning up. So it doesn't have to be streetable in the least bit, I would like to be able to rip it on the street from time to time but it is in no way necessary lol. And I will have two spinners as soon as I get it running on one and figure out how to build the second, so I'm hoping to be in the 70-90 range but that could be optimistic idk. As of right now this is what my parts list is looking like, cryo'd forged rods, carson girdle/studs, mahle coated pistons, coated bearings, lowered comp ratio, high temp exhaust valves, DI push rods, vavle springs (but idk what kind yet), headers, bellowed uppies, and a 42R to start with and then something smaller will replace it and the 42 will become the large one maybe (47R???), then obviously an I/C and electric fuel and deffinetly SPRAY.... I've always wanted it haha. But I want to find out the things like how low of compression, and what kind of clearances are needed for the heads and things like that. But I will probably talk to DI when that time comes, I really like the great things that I have heard about them. Oh and I think my injectors are gonna have to be a little bigger now but IDK, it's only money right hahaha

Ya I would love some firehoses just to say that I have them, cuz the name is just so badazz haha. And I too have no idea when it comes to sizing the twins so I would have to have a little chat with someone that did. As for the spinny thingy in your plans that has got to be more expensive than set of homemade twins... or is it???? Do you know what the cost of said spinny thingy and if so would you mind filling me in? I would love to have one cuz they are still .... you know (don't want to give your plans away just incase its still a surprise of some sort).

Wow that is pretty competative... so would the only thing to be made be a moutning braket correct? Because I could have my uncle CNC me one and then it would be the price of the spinner and the pipes...... or maybe 2 spinners.... :evil muhahahaha And then run a triple set-up. I would be the first with that hahaha. That would be BADAZZ, I wonder how much just the charger would be...

ohhhh eww I didn't think that was just for the charger.....hmmmmm maybe I go back to twins for now lol. And I remember reading Jim's triple turbo writeup when I first started on here and I was extremely shocked and it made me want to do some mods to my truck haha. Now for the 3200 that just comes with the charger, no mounting bracket and no longer drive thingy correct? So I would still have to have a bracket made up, do they make smaller spinners that would work with the psd or are we kind of limited to that size. Like I said I want to run DI's 42R kit on this truck so I wouldn't want to end up with too much air for 250's (idk if that would end up being to much or not).

haha I would love some 350's or 400's but talking to Jim about them kinda has me scared as to how much they would cost. He said that after 250 (i think) its all custom and as soon as I heard custom I saw $$$$$$$$ hahaha. This is going to start out as more of a budget build and progressively works it's way to being badazz. As long as the first time it goes down the track (after being dialed in) it runs 13.8 or better I will be happy. Cuz my buddy's vette runs 13.9 and I have to beat him in my budget build diesel truck hahaha, it'll send him over the edge.

Ya I know.... and I know that I will regret it down the road, just like I do with the II's in my truck. But if my plans change to be a little more aggrissive in the future then I will probably just deal with it then. I would love to just go above and beyond just from the beginning but I don't want to wait until next season just to get this thing going. My goal is to have it moving by the beginning of sept for sure, but I'm going to try for the middle of July so I can bring it with me. But only time will tell.
Oh and I had never heard that saying before, I like it. Go big or Go home but manlier haha

Ya well your truck can be as loud as it wants... but all it'll be do is BLOWIN' SMOKE! hahaha.
No matter if I get the new project done in time or not I will have something to race when I get down there, I may be a little easier on one than the other lol but there will be a race none the less.

right now all the stupid thing does is smoke @ WOT. with it being low on boost i'm still putting out GOBS of coal @ 3000rpm. i mean like it will black out the 5 lane highway if i floor it in the fast lane.... if i can't find all these issues then you will probably end up against the little truck, but i'm working my *** off to get both of them going for ya. maybe i will tow the F150 up there. unhitch and race ya then if i break then i got something else to race and then i can attempt to tow my PSD home with my gasser. LOL.

hahahahaha ya its good chit. And ya it will be interesting if you don't get these little quirks worked out before then, you've still got almost 4 months so I would hope you figure it out lol. And hel* once the gass job breaks from you having to actually work it towing the stroke I'll throw both of em' on the trailer and tow both of them back for you hahaha. Might even make a pass down the track towing your stroke against you in the gasser lmao, then it might be close lol.
