I have a 97 5 spd 354's with 215 pump. I plan to get 370's and #10 plate and haven't made up my mind on what turbo or clutch to invest in. heard of PDRHX40 and was wandering what results you guys have had with it. Also have thought about 13.5 con o fe. give me some feedback, i would appreciate it. <br>carty

 

First thing you need are a full set of gauges..Welcome to the forum... ;D

 

Santa decided to get me some gauges. Someone couldn't keep a secret. ;D ;D

 

Think about a set of governor spring too 3GSK or 4GSK...then it needs to breath at both ends air intake and exhaust this will help keep your EGT down...Heads up this guy is Bombing

 

I'm runnin the the same engine as you . Look at my sig. I also am runnin a #5 plate. ;D ;D<br>I don't have the 40 but I do the clutch and I like it.<br>I'm plannin on the 370's and a 4k GSK soon. :<br>What's your timming set at.<br>I'm going to do some more playing with that to. ;D<br>A buddie of mine has the 40 but not some other stuff, the 40 works great but he has already destroyed 1 abd scared to run this one to hard.<br>They are prone to the shaft to breaking.<br><br> : Eddeie : 8)

 

Thanks for your replies, <br>I haven't touched my timing yet, will here very shortly, nieghbor has the pump tool. <br><br>Eddie-Please explain abd, and how touchy is your clutch? I pull wagons around on the farm and wouldn't want to pinch someones finger when I back up because of a jumpy clutch.<br>Also don't you have to have HD valve springs to run a 4K rpm springs?

 

I pull gooseneck trailers almost everyday.<br>The clutch doesn't jump at all, no probs backing into barns,ect.<br>The Con FE will grab a little is what Peter at southbend told me.<br>Thats why I went with the OFE.<br>Sometimes I wish I would have tried the Fe but Peter recomended the OFE.<br>He said the FE is like the old bronze button clutches, but they don't grab nearly as bad.<br>I used to run one of those in a gasser truck and had to take it out because I couldn't hardly back a cattle trailer in to the loading chute without hitting it.<br>Hope this helps. If there is any thing else I can help you with PM me or something.<br>And ENJOY your CTD !<br><br> : Eddie : 8)

 

Deere; Where are you in Ohio?<br>I'm about an hour from Cinncinatti.<br>If you want to feel the OFE give me a holler.<br>Theats alot of bucks to spend without checking it out first.<br>Feeling is beliveing.<br><br> : Eddie : 8)<br>

Hello fellow Ohioan. welcome to the site.<br>Aaron

 

DeereDiesel:<br><br>Welcome to the website!<br><br>Both my son and I are currently running Piers' HX-40/16.<br>We are both VERY HAPPY with how the turbo performs!<br>On my 96' Dodge 12 valve, I had an increase of 27 H.P.<br>over the stock HX-35/12!! My EGT's are lower and I can<br>&quot;hold the throttle&quot; alot longer! My top speed increased<br>by three (3) M.P.H. The &quot;reliability&quot; is MUCH better on<br>Piers HX-40 than a &quot;stock&quot; HX-40 because Piers modifies<br>the oil galleries for better lubrication and he &quot;balances&quot;<br>the shaft. <br><br>I have also run the &quot;B-1 Turbo&quot; on my truck. I posted<br>a &quot;comparison&quot; between these two turbos awhile back<br>in the &quot;Products and Accessories&quot; Section. If you will<br>go to that section, and &quot;page back&quot; you should find it.<br>It is titled, &quot;B-1 v.s. Piers HX-40&quot; posted by me; John_P.<br>Maybe one of the moderators will see this and post the <br>thread for us. <br><br>Good luck!<br><br>---------<br>John_P
