Where does it go from here?

matt, when you say limits of stock components, are we talking rods pistons, or just stock fuel and air?

Basically, without more fuel we can't go any further that has been discussed repetitively on this board for the past few months.

Just my thoughts....but I feel like the stock internals, gaskets...etc will hold upwards of 700+hp, I think keeping the boost levels around 55psi will be key here.

Once we get more fuel, even the stock turbos IMO will be able to make another 100 or so HP than currently.....as for the injectors I dunno..is there a way to check the "duty cycle" on them? I know with the FORD extended parameters and my DashDaq I can see the duty cycle on my fuel pump and injectors in my Mustang.....I have never checked them on the truck. But the main issue is the fuel pumps I THINK.


I would be interested to see what the stock hardware, turbos, injectors would do with an upgraded fuel pump, and tuning. Personally, and I may be wrong, but I think theres atleast another 50-100hp with fuel and tuning.

i understand that, but i wasnt sure if someone had found the limits of the bottom end yet.

that is great question, i know on my lightning, and my buddies 10 second mr2, those are watched like a hawk

I am guessing when you upgrade the hpfp you will also have to upgrade the lift pump as well

On another note i know there are companys that are working on dual hpfp but is any one researching a modified single unit?

[CobbsDieselPerformance]

The fuel lift pumps wouldn't hurt for them to be upgraded right now as the trucks sit! I hope to put some kind of kit together for that before long.

[Pahrump]

Yeah well no lift pumps are ready to bolt on at the moment either, and thats not needed until we find out if an upgraded high pressure pump...or a second pump will over take the stock lift pump.

As consumers...we are kinda in a wait and see game right now.

[Cody6405]

Do we have the same hpfp as the dodge? Are they similar?
