Stage 1 (~430RWHP)- (~430RWHP)- This set of modifications maximizes the value and reliability per dollar on a truck with a stock transmission.  Reliable power levels up to 430rwhp can be achieved with this set of parts.  The  factory transmission parts are the limiting factor.

 Includes:

 

 

Stage 2 (~530RWHP) (~530RWHP) -This set of modifications maximizes the value and reliability per dollar on a truck with a built transmission.  Reliable power levels up to 530rwhp can be achieved with this set of parts.  The  factory turbocharger is the limiting factor. We highly recommend gauges with this setup, as it’s limited turbocharger capacity means it has the potential to run high EGT’s which (left unchecked) can cause engine damage.

Includes: 

 

 

Stage 3 (~700RWHP) -This set of modifications is aimed at maximizing the output of the factory long block.  Power levels up to 700+rwhp can be achieved with this set of parts.  Major fuel system upgrades are used in conjunction with our twin turbo kit to reach toward the limit of the factory connecting rods while minimizing the potential for engine failure due to excessive heat and cylinder pressure.  We require either a stroker pump or Dual fueler in conjunction with the FASS 150 at this level.  We also list our other turbocharging options here for those who can compromise towing performance for lower cost. 

Includes: 

 

Stage 4 (Over 700 RWHP) -This set of modifications is aimed at customers who have taken the plunge and built their engine using upgraded rods, pistons, and studs.  Power levels over from 700 to 850 can be achieved with this set of parts.  Major fuel system upgrades are used in conjunction with our twin turbo kit send you to the moon.  We require either a stroker pump or Dual fueler in conjunction with the FASS 150 at this level.  We also list our other turbocharging options here for those who can compromise towing performance for lower cost compared to the twin set. 

Includes: 


 To get started with your build, check out the DT430 Power Package which includes everything you need to take your stock truck to 430 RWHP.

If you really want to take your truck to the limit of the stock turbo, then you should consider the DT530 Power Package, which of course brings you to 530 RWHP.
