It really depends on the direction of your truck. If your gunna dd it I would stay away from a single. A lot of people tried it then went back to compounds. But if your going for performance and you race and pull with your truck I would say do it

Oh alright. I was headed towards the DD option. And taking it to the track from time to time and just have fun with it overall. This single route seems a bit cheaper then upgraded compounds. At least the jr. High powers I want are expensive, along with all supporting mods to run them. I know I will need similar mods to run a single, but overall compounds just seem a lot more expensive.

A drop in 71 or 72 is plenty fun and those are under $1500 without sacraficing drivability and some claim better spool up

In going to do a billet s367 from htt if I go single. I know someone selling one for a real good price. That should spool fairly quick and make some decent power. What kinda numbers and track times are guys seeing with the single setups anyways?

Just buy it and tell us. Not many/any track times out there yet on stock fuel with a single charger that I know of.
I already gave you my opinion on FB though and the guy the gave me advice about it has already commented in here too. All that's left to do is for you to try it and see how you like it

Lol yeah I've spoken with that gentlemen as well. And I've heard both good and not so good about single kits, as you would with anything else, some like it and some won't. It's just how it goes. I suppose I'll be the test dummy for y'all lol

That would be great! Then we can compare your single to my 75 atmo.
Here is the fastest time I've seen on stock fuel. Mike @ MPD with a 472 ran a 12.1. I bet a charger that big on stock fuel is pretty laggy though

The direction I'm going with my truck I'm set on a billet 66. I don't tow much and the area I live is highway and relatively flat. And I do pulls and drag race just about every weekend

Yea man! I'm sure you'll rape me in the 1/8. But the 1/4 is where the single is going to shine. Haha however with the right trans tuning I'm sure I can spool it up quick and do decent in the 1/8

I like the single, even after running the wrong pedestal with the wrong turbo. Anxious to see how it drives with the midwest pedestal. Keep any eye out for a thread in the very near future.
FWIW I will be going back to compounds with upgraded atmo this fall.

Really? Back to compounds? You don't care for the single setup for longevity and daily driving either?

I enjoy it very much. So much that I feel Im doing more harm then good. AKA-cant keep my foot out of it LOL
I will give a better report within a week.

I see, I will wait for your thread and see how it goes before I pull the trigger on a single. Seems you have same setup I'm after lol

I will say that having 3.73's and running the 420's help keep it spooled on the highway.
