The Kenne Bell blower would be nice to run, sorta like the one on the Hummer. With all of the trouble you've had I'd just go with something simple that you can enjoy easily and with very little maintenance like a Procharger, Magnacharger, or that Kenne Bell. Either way, deffinitly shoot for something so you can drive that thing. It's a nice truck and you don't want to waste it.

The anticipation must be killing you at this point. I'm sure you're ready to have some closure with this.

the turbo is gone. it now has a Kenne Bell 2.8L big bore. the dyno numbers aren't all that impressive as of right now but the driveability is amazing. only made 485rwhp on a mustang dyno on 12lbs boost. BUT, the iat's are out of control so the tune is very safe(low timing).

I wasn't overly worried about the iat's until I read the build thread disaster of dhpro. now i'm freaking out.

Hey Dan,

You've got me to help get you through some of the optimization curve faster. We'll likely end up running virtually the same setup except for camshafts. Wait until you get your pulleys set up to hit 10psi at 60% throttle... the whole truck changes. Way more power under the curve than you have right now even

485bhp on a water eddy dyno is very good. On a Dynojet you will likely be over 550. Since I used to handle these types of jobs at W2W, I used to see a lot of "train wrecks" come into there that other shops botched. W2W prices are not cheap, but they employ some of the best technicians, tuners, and fabricators in the country. Those guys work for premium pay and do premium work.

Like I always told folks when they cried about the high quote, "You get what you pay for."
