Welcome to SDD, what other mods have you done to the truck?

 

[StrokinHarley]

ive got a predator chip, Afe intake and no cat. or muffler... oh yea im thinkin of switchin to the SCT livewire how do you like it on your truck?

 

[95_stroker]

Most of the guys here will tell you to stay away from the drugs (methanol/propane) and get your horse through fuel and tuning.

 

[JLDickmon]

cost ya a fortune in Sudafed and you'll attract the attention of the local constabulary..

did I say that out loud?

first, get gauges.

then, get a chip or tuner.

methanol is not something you want running in a diesel

Why not? Maybe not 100% Meth, but meth/water injection if used conservatively appears to be safe.

 

[StrokinHarley]

so all you guys that are telling me not to run the meth. injection do yall even know anythin about it. i mean all the big racing diesels run it with no problems. so wats the big deal about it why does everybody think its so bad?

Not that it's so bad, but expensive, and if your system hickups, you can have some major internal malfunctions...

Besides that exactly, how much power are trying or planning to make? This isn't really a simple beginners project, this is pretty involved. From the sounds Of what you have done so far, some pretty simple bolt ons (or offs as the case may be), this should be followed up by some other mods to tie it all together. Like was mentioned above, tuning to get all the parts to play well together, gauges so you actually know what's going on inside the motor and so on.

A bunch of bolt on performance parts from some go fast magazines thrown together without coordination will get you nothing but low reliability and a thinner wallet... This isn't a rubber stamped 302 that you can find a dozen of sitting in the corner of the bone yard waiting to be rebuilt, it's a $10,000 highly (if not overly) engineered machine.

Yeah it's possible, but again, what are you trying to get out of it?

Do we know anything about it? Yeah, we know enough about it to steer you clear of it if your intent is to gain a few more ponies.

i mean all the big racing diesels run it with no problems. so wats the big deal about it why does everybody think its so bad?

It would help if you tell us your true intentions, if all you want is more horse I will stand behind my original statements, add fuel and add a competent tuner, do the rest of the supporting mods that go along with those such as intake, exhaust, tranny etc etc.... and be happy with 350-450 RWHP.

OR

If your intent is to run with the big racing diesels be prepared to dig into your pocket book and perhaps your retirement account. Just let us know what it is you want and we can point you in a suitable direction.

you need some gauges ! at a minimum you need a proper EGT gauge
and it wouldnt be a bad idea to add a PROPER trans temp !
