The smoke will be the end of this hobby in alot of areas if not everywhere if its shown to much on the street!
mine smokes like a train, and im sure yours does too. i dont go out and shut down the square in town just for the fun of it though.


i hope to hit at least 550 with the swap. and after i throw that b2 under this 62 i better be over 600

Max HP on #2 will be achieved with a good set of twins. A large single is simple and much cheaper than twins, but the single will never spool or cool as well.

Doug Told me the same thing. But he's being honest. it may be confusing, but i think you can make the most out of twins cuz you dont have to let out for it to cool down.... Not to mention he sells twins now .
Im not sure but i might know where some of those parts come from
as for smoking out intersections ive been known to do it... and for the ASU cocky jerks that think there so bad, ive made them dissappear into the black yonder but , never a every day thing!
I do want some good smoke vids!

I took my primary off a while back to see how the sps62 would do by itself. The power was way down. With the k31 primary it runs much stronger than the 62 by itself. The B2 adds 30hp over the K31. I rarely use the B2 because of the lag, but it really isn't that bad.

What was said or meant was "More HP can be made with a single and nitrous than twins and nitrous....." There is even more to this equation than this but for the applications we discussed this would hold true. This also is dependant upon having a properly designed and setup nitrous setup. But for max HP on #2 twins is the way to go, better cooling, faster spoolup, and higher oxygen saturation will equate into a higher HP number, of course this assumes a good twin setup appropriate for the fueling.

With my setup, i made 550hp uncorrected on a dynojet. I dynoed with the TST COMP hooked up, then i tried it with the Edge Drag Comp and i lost 4hp with the edge, not a big deal, but i lost almost 60 ft lbs with the edge box. I think the TST yeilds better torque because of the agressive fueling, allowing the turbo to spool up much quicker. The Edge box does not spool the turbo as well as the TST box. EGTs stayed reasonable not above 1500 degrees. I was making about 48 psi of boost too. The cam improved spool up and help keep EGTs in check. I am not sure what the next step for me will be, i am pretty happy with the way the truck is performing. If anything, i would probably do head work and and the bottle and be done with it.

I agree with 'Jet Pilot', above.
I gained 56 hp going to twins over a large single (HX 40/55 hybrid). Nothing else was changed!! Several members predicted 50-60 hp....and that's just what I got! Not to mention no smoke problems in the summertime, reduced EGT's and almost instant spoolup
