Overall thoughts on my Flux3's, helix2 cam, CP3 upgrades

I had alot done at once, Flux3's, helix 2 cam, springs, and a Floor it stage 2 pump. Overall the truck gets better the more I drive it with this set up. The truck idles great even with the 3's, I swear its quieter at idle, and best of all no smoke at idle. My other injectors smoked at an idle all the time, I cant imagine what that would do to pistons, or the head over a long period. The cam is great very little smoke unless you are wot, turbos spool so fast its unreal. My wastegate is working overtime any speed any rpm I have boost and it ramps up instantly. With this combo my truck has a ton more power, and it has it at any rpm, honestly I am amazed at how much usable power I have across the board. Before I had power at wot but now I have it at 1/4 throttle and as I said it doesnt matter if Im at 1100rpm or 3000 theirs power available. After the first of the year Tim is going to put some recommended billet in the trans and some other tricks then I guess it will be time for her first dyno session.. And if that goes well maybe the track next year.

Thats sounds bad *** man. Thats a cool truck. Mine will be ready within a month. I ordered the engine last week. We have similar trucks I got a 06 dodge dually laramie black. ORDERING 5INCH EXAUST, AFE2,ARP HEAD STUDS,ATS ARC FLOW,FASS150,BD INTERCOOLER,DUAL CP3,HELIX2,SPRINGS,DONT KNOW WHAT INJECTORS YET,66 TURBO,BD SPEED ELIMINATOR,BIG LINE KIT, MARINE GASKET,BLAHAHABLAHBLAHBLAH. PLEASE SEND ME YOUR DYNO RESULTS OR PLEASE POST THEM WHEN YOU GET THEM. IT IS GOOD TO HEAR SOMEONE DESCRIBE THE CHANGE AFTER ADDING THOSE PARTS. IM GOING FULL BOAR SO I GOT A SINGLE TURBO WITH HOPES OF NO LAG BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IM ADDING. CAN YOU REALLY DRIVE YOUR TRUCK AS HIGH RPM AS YOU WANT WITH THE SPRINGS.

That I dont Know, I would ask your builder. I think most of us are limited due to computer peramiters, and after a cam and springs the motor may be ready to go higher but as yet the programers to allow it are still in R@D. Good luck with your rig sounds like its going to be awesome. Also Talk to one of the vendors on the F1 site, with dual cp3s wether you like it or not I think you rail pressure may run, or at least spike higher, and in that case F1 is the only way to go. Rye
