It has been a long time coming but I finally decided to start a thread on my mild build. My goal is to be running 10's by the end of 2016. Current setup is:97 180 motor with 887 pump flowing 500cc, and an aeromotive diesel fuel pump that feeds the 887 @60 psi with 1/2 fuel lines and a duel feed. "PDR" racing cam w/o flycuts, manley springs, locks and retainers that Smokem suggests, Diesel Dynamic injectors (size unknown),snow water meth, stock bottom end and stock cylinder head (ported one cracked bad and was in a pinch to get back together),ats exhaust manifold, ARP 625 head studs, fire rings cut into head and block. Currently running 25* timing and a 80/83/1.10 t4 charger with a race cover making ~44-48lbs boost. The local track just opened last week but they decided to close due to cold weather. Will hopefully try to go back either this week or next to get some time slips. The trans is an older race built trans from DTT including billet input, output, and a lot of other small goodies. For trans cooling I am running the stock air to fluid cooler up front and a derale 15800 under the bed. I recently changed out the single disc DTT 1800 stall convertor to a triple disc goerend 2500 stall to help spool my big single. I decided late last fall that I wanted to leave the big single game and build a set of large compounds (or medium I guess). I purchased a s369sxe with a .91 housing, two JGS 50mm EWGs, a t4 steed with dual EWG (still waiting to be finished) and a hx82 with a 86/140 compressor and E trim turbine with 32cm exhaust housing. I am going to be doing a side by side setup using these two turbo chargers. This truck is a weekend warrior that I sometimes drive to work. My goals with this compound setup is 10 psi of boost by 1850 and to be on top of the manifold charger by 2400 rpms. I do realize that the largest restriction currently is my stock cylinder head and bottom end but I am torn between investing into going wild on a motor or just throwing a ported cylinder head on this motor. I have included pictures of the s369sxe, hx82, picture of the motor in the truck with the 80/83/1.10, and a picture of the truck. Also for all those who are going to ask the 83 turbine rarely surges and will only on a low boost locked shift.
