Tax return decisions?

so i used to hate doing my taxes but this year im finally getting some back and have so many choices with what to do with it and could use some help. i have a list a country mile long like a lot of us here with what to upgrade. first what is the difference between the dominator 66 and H2E turno. th cfm difference is about 50 but the price is about price for the h2e is twice that than the Dom 66. so my main questoin is what are the major differences and pros and cons for these big turbos?

I'm not sure the exact reason as to why, but I'm pretty sure the D66 is good up until the lower 400 horsepower range and the H2E is good for everything beyond that. I might be wrong though.

Beans diesel says the d66 is good for stage 2 injectors and smaller and the 350-425 horse range and a maximum of 40 psi. the H2E is for anything beyond that.

yea i was just on there and thats what got me wondering about turbos. i was looking at injectors too and am trying to decide between stg I or stg II's. but of course that got me looking at the adrenaline hpop and then the mag-hytec trans, oil and rear diff pans etc etc. and i dont think im going to be pushing past 400 hp i just want more but not to much that its going to cost three loans to pay for.i just want travis's truck except 4X4 and not with the problems its having now lol sorry travis.

I'm putting on the D66 now and I think the biggest selling point is that its a direct bolt on. Also, I will not get over the stage II's and 425 hp anyway.

yea i saw that too and loves that idea compared to the h2e which looked really difficult.

I will also be getting an adrenaline when the time comes. I'm sure someone who actually has one will tell you more about it. But from what i hear, they are nice products and very good priced.

And definitely get a cooler to try to help that tranny.

I have the adrenaline and love it. I will supply all the oil you need unless you are really getting up there in 'big injectors'. On a real hard pull I used to jerk and miss, not now.

I've got that trucool 4739 on my truck sandwiched b/w the IC and the AC condensor. It works great, guys say it drops tranny temps 20-30 degrees. I can't tell you for sure as i didn't have guages before the install.

Ya definitely if your not going over stage 2's which you wouldn't because then you would need the H2E turbo, then the adrenaline pump is going to do everything you need. I think the adrenaline was made for like 238cc injectors.

yea im not sure whether to go with stage I's or II's yet idk just might get the ones because they are cheaper. ok with the stage I's, Dominator 66, the adrenaline, a 6637 intake and 4 inch strait pipe i should be making some good hp. now does this call for new head studs and gaskets just as a safety precaution? haha and all this sounds like its going to cost me a new tranny and rear end.

No. i believe head studs are required at like 40 psi. I dont think you need to worry about headstuds with stage 1's, D66, adrenaline and exhaust. The tranny is definitely going to need to be a focus though. Get a cooler and look into a transgo tugger kit or something along those lines.
