Max power: start with 12V or 24V?
Just curious what everyone's thoughts are - for max power, would you start with a 12V or 24V? Assume cost is not an issue. Would you want a p-pumped 24V, or a 12V with a 24V head, or some other configuration? Are the biggest injectors available for the 24V comparable to the biggest available for the 12V? Would you run a modded P7100 pump or some other aftermarket race pump? Thanks.

It would really depend on what you wanted to do with the truck, but its farelly easy to get 400 hp from a 12v.

Guess I should have included that - sorry . Assume: twin turbos, probably Piers stoopid-pumped, 800+hp, dragracing-only.

P-7100 pump will flow the most fuel. 24 valve head flows more air than a 12 valve.

How big is your wallet?
