Thank you! My Cummins buddy may have me talked into going to the track again here in the next few weeks. I'll probably throw some nitrous on as a bandaid to get it to spool at the line. Lets hope for some 12's at least lol.
Add another build to the list

Dustin, let me know when you are going. Id like to make at least on pass in my truck this year.

Sounds good I'll let you know. I would like to have at least one perfect launch before the summer ends as well lol. Did some tinkering late last night and may have found an issue with my wastegate creeping open too soon. Also installed a tune from Steve and I already can feel it running better.
Haven't had it to the track unfortunately but I did get my wastegate fixed and an awesome tune! Seeing 50lbs of boost today and its running amazing! Still will not spool at a dead stop but my converter is stalling at 1800-1900 and at this elevation it's not helping one bit. If my cummins buddy get his turbos installed I may throw my nitrous on and try to get a good boosted launch at the track.
Figured I'd give a long term update on this build. Have about 6000 miles on it and it runs great! Swapped a .58 exhaust housing onto the small charger and that change alone has been worth it. With Steve's race tune it daily drives amazing with little to no smoke. Still hauls a trailer very well, yet turns heads as the chargers scream now. The large charger started throwing oil but a quick call to Comp Turbo had me realize I had too big of an oil feed line to it. So changed that out when I did the housing and all appears ok.
Managed a 13.1@102mph with a 1.89 60ft at our local track. Wasn't it's best time but the combination of an 7500+ft dynamic altitude and a converter stalling at 1800-1900 was making for a hard time to spool. By the end of the night my 15+ second spool-ups were getting everything hot and I didn't want to push it. And to add to that I pressure checked everything again the weekend after and found out my intercooler is basically blown. 40psi of shop air will drop to 0psi in about 2 seconds Seeing about 53-54psi total boost so I'm sure getting that leak fixed will help out drastically.
Our track is basically closed for the season now so over the winter I'll get a new intecooler, torque converter, and hopefully get my 2nd cp3 installed. We'll shoot for some better times next year. In the mean time I can't complain

A high HP project will always have setbacks and bumps in the road. I admire your patience Dustin, a lot of guys would have given up. That thing is close to coming REALLY alive. It will all be worth it in the end I'm sure. Nice to see all your hard work pimpin that ride man.

I'll admit all the comments and jaw dropping that happened when the hood was open in the staging lanes made the hard work worth it. Hoping to get the intercooler soon so I can keep driving it!
Oh and right now I'm in second place for top dog in Berthoud lol. My buddies Dodge will waste me.... for now

Finally got to run her on a loaded Mustang dyno. The first run I only hit 21psi of boost. Then the next two runs, according to the dyno guy, they "loaded 'er like a Ford". Boost hit about 41psi and I ended up squeezing out 583hp/904tq, losing rail with 1700-1800µs pulse.

Here's my buddies 24 valve that ran that day as well. He managed 585hp/1347tq. This run his boot blew off the HP charger at about 70psi
