After a few weeks of waiting on various parts and 2 weeks of honeymoon, I was finally able to pick my truck up last night. Let me tell you it was worth the wait. With Mark's tuning and this new 72, the truck lights almost instantly, EGTs climb slower and peak lower, and the power is noticeably increased. I only have about 30 miles on the truck but couldn't be happier. I am only seeing 40psi of boost but I have ported heads and all my charge pipes and intercooler are larger than stock which could be the reason. I'm going to talk to mark and possibly send him a few logs but for a first shot at tuning the truck, it is one hell of a ride!!!! Now that I've seen the fuel these 60s will provide with proper tuning, I think I need to start looking into an HSP 483 twin kit.....

Our Twin Kit sure would look pretty under the hood Gold! not to mention make about 1000HP! :woott:
My only concern is that once I have that type of power on tap all the time, the life expectancy of every part on the truck will be in question.
That's all dependent of the right foot. Just cuz you add twins doesn't put a death wish on the motor
Thank you for your input. I truly appreciate it. Your first hand knowledge on the subject matter has shed new light on the situation.
My right foot is heavy. And I lack self control to keep the hot tunes for the track. Thats what scares me lolThat's all dependent of the right foot. Just cuz you add twins doesn't put a death wish on the motor
Good to know! I sort of figured that would be the case but wanted a second opinion.
when you get the white truck back together can you please post some pics lol:hug:
Congrats on the new setup and it running good! But as everyone is saying I think ya need sum twinzzz!
If this is the case detune the (future) twins and only load a single tune (No DSP5) in the truck, that way the motor should last at least a week, :hug:
or trade it in on a smart car! << ( on second thought that is not a viable option)
To be honest I think the motor would take it. Maybe not forever but I think it would last a long time around the 800hp mark. What concerns me more would be the drivetrain once I got closer to the 1khp area.
