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.....

I`ve got a brand new s483 from Danville for sale if your interested....

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.
Your probably right, I didn't realize your motor was built until after I ran my fingers across the keyboard :thumb: Congrats on your new turbo!

Although tempting, I think I'm going to run this as a single for at least the next few months. I really need to build a garage but we'll see what Santa brings me for a Christmas bonus this year and go from there lol

Thanks you sir. It's built but that doesn't mean it is indestructible. 483 could still cause issues.
