finally my build

[blackbetty13]

within a week or 2 i will be taking my truck down to TSD i just need to get a good day to be able to do it. they will be installing my gt4294, arps valve spring, and pushrods with a complete fuellab fuel system and intercooler. i already have my 238cc/80% installed with a 17 degree pump idm intake and exhaust and chip. my goal is to break 500hp? what else should i do? what else should i need? i would like to get an srp1 pump as well in the near future. and school me on a cam. thanks guys

 

[blackbetty13]

this isnt on of those 500-600 build threads im clearly asking if i should get a cam, and if the foloowing mods with an srp1 will send me over 500.

What tranny are you holding all this power with?

 

[SDS97_7.3]

WHS^^^^. Or are you having it tuned down till you upgrade your tranny?

1st mod I would do is head studs

get headers. Not a necessity but I have heard they are pretty sick

did u read my first post im sending my truck to tsd and they are installing the studs springs and rods that i have along with my 42 and fuel system and i would get headers but most of them have cracked sooooo thats not going to happen

Manifolds are gonna be your best friend on a daily driver

Let me know if you need help with anything else

Doing a cam is going to add to the cost for sure. Since you are entrusting Truck Source Diesel to do the work I would be following their guidance closely to ensure the best end results. Be realistic on just how much power you need is also important.

Did you read your first post? You make no mention of studs. Looks like this combo should bring 500hp no problem. Make sure you post pictures and vids.

Talk to gear head about the cam

 

[bluedge8]

he said arp with no comma, thats why it got missed. Good luck on the build and keep us updated.

 

[blackbetty13]

i will definately post some pics i can post a few when i get home of irates mount and everything i have now. if anyones interested in seeing jakes (irate) work.

 

[bluedge8]

pics are good :smile:

 

[blackbetty13]

here they are i dont intend on my fuel pump being set up like that i am going to let tsd handle that

 

[blackbetty13]

on second thought. my uncle asked me the other day what pound my comp 910s were i really couldnt answer his question because i didnt know. i just ordered it from irate cuz i new they where for support so can anybody tell me. and are these really an aftermarket spring or just for support.

 

[blackbetty13]

just an update i spoke with Chris again at TSD everything is a GO! i just now have to find someone to follow me there hopefully i can get it down there friday or saturday if not it will be first thing the following week.
