New Toys; Twins, Dual Fueler, Cam, Springs and Studs oh My!
Finally got off my butt and with the awesome help of Chris Brahs (Cbrahs) and Andy Blomberg(?) we installed the twins, Opie bypass, ARP 625's, PPE dual fueler, F1 Cam and sportsman pro springs. Everything went together reasonable well. Turbos are a bit laggy, but when they light up WOW... Downloaded the TNT tune for the Smarty and have gone as far a level seven. That tune is a monster. No popping or other issues. These ball bearing turbos sound like an F-16 moving around the tarmac. When you shut it down you can hear the turbines continue to spin for quite awhile. I have some tuning and tweaking to do then off to the DYNO.

LoL... Hot it was. I had to wait until the hottest week of the year to torture my buddies. About five days in total. Now if I can get my wife to speak to me again all will be good!
Another big thanks to Chris and Andy. You guys rock!

Turbos are a bit laggy,
What are you comparing spool to? Especially with the cam, I'd think your spool should be nearly instantaneous with the right programming?
Any chance of getting us a sound clip of the turbos and some more pics?
Great looking rig!

You're talking about the BB Garretts in your signature? I thought these turbos were supposed to be the cat's meow of spool-up, and would light faster than almost anything else on the planet!?!

Altitude is the biggest factor. I am at 5500ft. most of the time and right now I am at 7800ft. Not much air. I am comparing lag to the stock turbo. When I take the truck to Phoenix (1200ft.) there is a world of difference in performance. Can't wait to take this setup to a lower altitude. I worked with Nathan at MPI and this setup was his suggestion for this altitude.
I went to the Smarty TNT tune and on level seven this truck is scary fast.
As Jared suggested I have some tuning of the setup to accomplish and need to play with the Smarty settings. Will try and get a sound clip together. It is cool
