So, for the life of me, I can't find anything like this, so I'm gonna ask.
So the LBZ can handle 650ish to ehh, 700ish on the factory Rotating assembly. But what's the best way to set up everything around it? Twin over stock instantly comes to mind, s366 and 40's...all sorts of ways people "have" done it. But what's the best?
Even though twins run more air, and may be better for the pistons, I decided that a bigger single turbo might actually be better in terms of longevity of the stock rods, because the twins bring on tq harder at low/lower rpm's, also, for immediate goals, twins are more expensive to set up properly and I want a bigger "small" charger than a stocker when/if I did decide to go the twin turbo route
I have been slowly piecing together my take on this over the last two years, and thanks to all the diesel hotrodders out there for documenting progress, results, data and making performance parts so that guys like me can best utilize our means:thumb:
Here's my take on a 650ishwhp stock LBZ duramax street truck(it's an evolving plan:joker
4094avant with plans to upgrade to a vgt72
Intercooler
Built trans
60% exergy's
Dual fueler
so i got the built trans with billet goodies, i upgraded the turbo, intercooler and y-bridge, and now, as opportunity would have it, the route I finally took for fuel was with a slightly used set of 60% over injectors courtesy of DetailsUnlimited (Turk). Now, I'm thinking about supplying those injectors and after more research it seems to me that the stock cp3 will handle these 60 overs at a power level of 650? What do you all think? Do I need more pump to meet this goal? I kinda have this gut feeling that as long as the pump is stock I won't exponentially increase the risk of engine failure, therefor keep everything together longer.
Of course, there is a "in the future" plan of a built short block, but until then...I want my cake and I want to eat it too.
As always, thanks for your thoughts
