Message: [QUOTE="KCTurbos, post: 1059937, member: 13852"] So I have always had this question and I posted up in another thread... but instead of derailing that thread anymore I decided to post up my own. Sorry for the semi-repost. I do not own a 6.4... but I have had my eyes out for a while and have been lurking around here. It just seems the subject pops up a lot with no explanation. I am mainly asking for the guys who daily drive their trucks... I understand why you would do it for a track/dyno/sled pulling queen looking to break records and/or run a ton of nitrous. Also I understand that you can only go so big with the stock turbos, but it seems like plenty of power for most dd/race trucks. Why the big push for large singles? Most every other platform out there dreams of having compounds and spend BIG money just to be able to squeeze a compound setup under the hood... and the 6.4 comes with them stock. I see a ton of threads of people asking about it and wanting to jump on the band wagon, they get a ton of posts telling them to do it... but I don't often see a ton of the reasons why??? Is it just for reliability reasons? Is it really that much cheaper than buying some upgraded stock turbos? I keep seeing spool up videos and posts from people that make them look really laggy on the bottom end (like under 2000rpms). They seem like monsters above 2500-3000 rpms... but who daily drives that high? Also guys keep saying things like... "the spool up is really not that bad" "just keep the rpms above 2500" "its ok on the street, its all in the way your drive" "for a race/fun truck I would definitely do a single" "how bad will i hate my truck if I go to a single" I have no agenda and we don't sell any forms of 6.4 turbos (maybe some day)... It just seems backwards to get rid of compounds and switch to a large single. Maybe someone can help me out. [/QUOTE]
