Cody,
That makes sense, I would assume that trying to nail daily driving with big injectors (and underpowered fuel pressure) would be a headache for you.
That kinda brings up a question for me, for a stock-ish truck (like mine for instance) of all the turbo's you've dealt with, is there a turbo or turbo mod (compressor wheel) that stands out to you as having a well matched boost map? maybe a particular combination of turbos and wastegates?
Or maybe to put it another way, it there a turbo setup on a stockish truck that you enjoy dealing with because its map range "just fits" the needs of the engine? (i.e., you look like a hero!
) If you were going to swap out a turbo, what ones would you be looking at...wastegated or not wastegated? maybe that's an issue for a separate thread...
Didn't you get a project truck a while back? What are your plans with that? I'd like to get a good 7.3 block and build it up over time, but with my tastes ($$$) the first thing I'd want are billet rods and they're EXPENSIVE. I keep wanting to do stuff to my truck but don't want to go much over 400HP simply because of the PM Rod issue. Got a friend here that went about 475 with forged rods and he perforated his block. On the other hand, my brother-in-law is over 500 with his truck (estimate) and he's got PMR. I don't have the cash to gamble like that...
