Just curious if anyone can give me a rough guess on what kind of #'s I might be making with whats in my sig?

Stock turbo? That must be one toasty ride.

I'm guessing about 350. Limited by your turbo.

HOHN

Never heard of the Blue Box-- don't know what it does, or how it could help with a Smarty and Drag Comp.

You're probably between 345 and 370-- allowing for the often considerable variance from truck to truck.

Sounds like you are a little over-boxed to me. For example, the Drag Comp doesn't do a lot more than a std Comp on an HO truck.

You and I are probably in the same power ballpark, but I've only a smarty and injectors.

Yeah it does get a little hot but I got a HTT 62/71/13 on the way! Should be here any day now The blue box is by blue chip diesel and I'm using it for the fueling end of things best guess around 125-140hp to the ground with that box. I think I'm gonna go bigger injectors as well Mach 4's or 6's and can't wait for the new quadzilla box. I'll probably have to go to a SO pump to get full benefit though

HOHN

OK, so it's a Dyno Sources re-badge of the Blue Chip Blue box-- that makes more sense.

So what are you using your Drag Comp for?

You're probably not getting 125-140hp from ANY fueling box on an HO, as far as I know. I'm not aware of any fueling box that can actually make more than 100hp on an HO apart from timing. For example, a TST that makes 120-130hp on an SO truck makes about 90 on an HO. Stack it with an EZ and you get 30-40hp of that back.

bridleman

Thats interesting Hohn and also DEPRESSING I use the edge drag like a ez and use the timing end of it, now this might all be real stupid and since I have not put it on a dyno who the heck knows if it's doing a dang thing I may be just peeing in the wind But soon I should know . But that brings me to the next question then is it even worth putting bigger injectors in if I am running the HO pump, Should I wait until I get a SO??

Ph4tty

Wait until you get a turbo HO's respond well to injectors, you should be able to pick up 80 hp with sticks.

HOHN

Yeah, that's why I went with big injectors and a mild box. I'm hoping to add a TST someday, but I'm not expecting a humongous increase in power-- maybe 60-70hp. I'm already so overfueled, though that adding more fuel won't give me any power, I suspect.

Hey Bridle where did you get the turbo from and what did you pay?This is what I think I want for my truck and I'm looking for the best deal....

bridleman

I'm getting the HTT 62/71/13 from ETR and I got it for $1680 down pipe,clamps and shipping included. I shopped around and that by far was the best deal I could find(hopefully nobody tells me different. ) I can't wait to see how it runs!

AggieJustin

Yeah, you're definitely "over-boxed". Running the Drag Comp in EZ mode is doing about the same thing as the Smarty, and the Blue Chip box is taking care of your top end fueling. I assume you're running the Smarty on even numbers, so you're just getting the fueling off the Smarty?

And just as a reference, I dyno'ed 373hp with DD2s, Edge Comp (std) and the stock turbo. This should be close to your setup.
