more than likely yes. the limiting factor right now is money. im a college student. lol I know headstud, figured maybe doing the head with oversized valves, new connecting rods lbz fpr, airdog, new manifolds, efilive, trans,and different turbo wheel? could I put a variable vane on it?

bought a motor kit. crank is being sent out to get keyway cut. ended up wth .020 pistons carillo rods. need a new cam not sure on what to get and also need new valve springs there way under spec. plan on ordering 30% injectors. anyone know what kind of power Im looking at? also would like to know opinions on aftermarket turbos
For a cam go here http://www.xtremediesel.com/empire-...-1004-camshaft-w-alternated-firing-order.aspx. Or get a good used cam and have it keyed as well. Just depends on your budget. For springs get a set of Hamiltons since they perform very well and are the most affordable. At minimum if your this deep do 60% Exergys, and get ahold of Dustin at Diesel Addiction for a billet s366 kit. Great kit at a great price. You will do your 650 and probably more very reliable.
