It will not be over 600hp with the current secondary (62/65). Mid 500s on a true dyno. 

What injectors would work best with the turbo's I currently have?  I currently have a set of 7x10.5 and 7x13 do you still think I should go with 6x13's?

Yes I do. I have seen very few 7 hole injectors do what 6 holes can. What you have now will work fine with the setup as well. Keep that in mind.

I realize I'll lose the electronic tuning, that's why I haven't bitten the bullet and bought a p pump and install kit yet.  

 

 

 

Just remember a P-pump 24V will have less efficiency and the MPG's are typically lower. Hopefully you are not looking for a daily driver in this realm. As a track and racing they are awesome.

That is more due to the owners not tuning the pump properly.

I think for now I'll build it with the parts I have already purchased.  I'd like to get it back on the road.  I'm seriously considering a p pump and a supercharger feeding a big set of twins for a project next winter though.  I live out in the country, the nearest town is 60 miles away, I don't think driveability will be an issue, I hardly ever go anywhere there is a lot of traffic or stop lights.

My major hindrance to doing many mods to my truck (my wife) moved in with who I thought was my good friend a couple of years ago.  Now I seem to have access to more of my money to allow me to have some fun.  Her replacement seems to have no issue with me sending money on my toys.  ???

Not what I was talking about. I'm like you I live in the middle of nowhere and long ways from towns. That's not the issue. What I getting at is VP44 truck have been able to clear 20 MPG by most of the members here. Now P-pump trucks tend to get much lower MPG's. Bigger the HP/TQ number the lower average MPG number typically.

 

Like myself local fuel is $3.329 vs when I get to Payette, ID at $2.999 a gallon. I can drive 125 miles on 1/16 of a tank. Done it more than once. 

 

So I'm one of the efficiency nuts that can really squeeze the MPG's out of these truck being my all-time high record is 27.2 MPG. Rather impossible for a P-pump 24V to do.

I have a new 2017 3500 that I'm getting 15mpg with fully deleted and tuned, but on 35's.  

My 2nd gen stock would give 25 hand calculated with stock 215 tires.  I've never worried much about mileage, I had an F350 V-10 and a 3500 Chevy with a 454.  Anything above 10 looks good now.  

I bought the exe a new 2016 Power Wagon with the 6.4 hemi in Dec I only drove it a few times before she decided she was leaving in March, it only gave 12-14 light and 8 towing 13k

All my trucks run through my company so fuel and parts are a write off.  If I don't spend it It'll only go to the governent or her, so I figure why not have some fun.

I'm paying $1.35 a litre locally here in Nova Scotia Canada for diesel.

I'm sorry to hear that about your other half Tom, I'm afraid most of us are in same boat, (or at least me lol) they all gone nuts for the most part, brainwashed by tell-lie-vision, thinking they need a new house,car, image, and everything else all at the same time, and who cares if it's all bought with borrowed money. Life is not what it seems that's for sure. But I believe our creator has a plan for it all.

lol.  She had a new house.  She bought (with my money) a new 2012 Charger SRT8 6.4 when they first came out,  she just thought the grass was greener I guess.  Works for me, I'm happier and have less stress than I've had in years.  My son who just turned 15 stayed with me.  Life is good
