Twin it, stock/475 and don't look back. Worth every penny! Town better, runs better and sounds awesome too!!!

Or a single 366 or something similar, that way you clean everything up under the hood.

I would have to find my slip but I am pretty sure I was in the 1.5's 60'. I had M&H radials, QA1's, Caltracs, and some weight reduction. It was the normal, tailgate, spare tire, back seat, one battery, no hitch. I think I was around 6600#'s or so. About 800' elevation.

I've got basically a brand new injection pump under the hood now. So now I just need to sell my enclosed trailer and I'll order studs and twins:)

Nice! Do you daily drive it? Only beat on it at the track?

I do not daily drive it. Probably similar driving habits to you from what you've said. I drive it on the weekends if it's nice out and take it on long road trips. Maybe go to the track 2-3 times a year. I've been most impressed by the twins with how they react on the street actually, it's a very smooth ride for long trips and everything, but when the 2nd turbo lights it really puts you in your seat. I think its a shame to get rid of the VVTs on these trucks, although I would definitely consider a drop-in VVT as well.

Poor Dustin. Looks like he will have to settle for third place for a while/forever. Lol In case anyone is wondering we have a list at work for fastest diesels. Right now it's me @ 11.85 then Jake @ 12.61 and in a close third Dustin @ 12.69.

Thats the beauty of vgt in a twin setup. Instant spool and the 475 will keep things moving up top. Tough to beat twins for what you're looking to do!

Same as Harbin.

Ran 7,41 on 1/8.

11,73 on 1/4 at 113 mph with 1,58 60ft.

Stock intercooler, stock head stud, no up pipe or manifold, 45% nozzles, s475 over stock.

I could have squeeze 11,6X from that setup.

Last year i added dual fueler and BOOM. This year built motor and bigger twins.

Before doing some turbo work, my big ass truck with built motor, 475 over stock, dual fuelers, and 45% over injectors ran a 12.3-12.6 at 111-113mph. Just FYI, with a completely stock motor and fueling, the twins killed my motor in 2 months running 2800-3200us tune. Be prepared for the worst if you do twins

Dual fueler killed my motor. Basic fueling 45% + stock pump was reliable. For info, dual fueler was 4-5 mph faster on the 1/8 vs stock pump on the same setup
