:think:How much HP/TQ are you planning on building?If you use the rule of thumb that for every 10 HP you need at least 1 PSI boost. So for 350 HP you could still run a stock HX35 turbo, stock head gasket, stock head bolts, any chip/enhancement box plus RV275 injectors with any head work at all. I'm right close to 400 HP now and tow quite a bit there the summer and still mostly stock on every thing but the injectors.So what your design? :shrug:

I would like to reach the 400 horse mark or a hair more. I have intake, exhaust-5in and ATS 3 piece, raptor 100, 13in upgrade ceramic Kevlar clutch.Would I be able to support 100s for injectors or what do you recommend? I am taking the head off because i have a tiny dribble of coolant directly behind no6, coming from in-between head and block. So just get it decked and valves inspected?

You might take a look at my signature. Without my injectors I was at 381/831 now I should be roughly around 400 HP. I've got enough power to break the tires loose in 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th gear (wet road). http://articles.mopar1973man.com/members-rides/17-mopar1973man/145-2002-dodge-ram-dyno-results
