P pump, twins and camshaft upgrade. You might need a clutch upgrade

Once I sell my bike I am hoping to do almost all of this stuff. Cam, Compounds, Intercooler. P-Pump i think is way down the road tho. I think my clutch should be able to hold I hope. lol

A S475 or S480 would slide under the GT3788R very nicely. I'm building a set of twins using those turbos. I've built a set using GT3782R over a BTH-3B. It was very nice Spooled as fast as stock with tons of room for more fuel. There is only so much fuel in a VP. Bigger sticks can help some, but sooner or later you'll need a P pump.

one thing you keep mentioning is twins... i say build them. maybe trade your turbo for one a little smaller depending on your long term goals. they will work with your current pump, the p-pump down the road, and anything else you throw on the truck. a cam isnt a big change for the money unless you are really moving some air. the twins should help with egt control as well.

I am planning on starting to build the compounds as soon as my bike sells. Im going to use the money from the bike to start buying all the parts I will need and start piecing the kit together. (at least that is what the plan is)

That turbo is a decent spoolin turbo. You need a camshaft to get the air to flow thru the head. The stock is only so good at moving the air. I've been running an aftermarket cam for years, ask me if I would go back to stock. A cam isn't that much $$$ any more. Mach 6's or a big set of competion sticks from dynomite would wake her up some. With a decent sized primary, you'll have decent power. I remember when a cam was only from dynamite diesel at $1500, and there was only one grind available.

No emmission reg's here, so we can do what we want to. Probably never apply to the older trucks here anyways.

You'll like the cam. You talking to Zach at Hamilton. The maxspool cam is also another good pick.
