How is an 01 smaller than stock?
It is 71mm.... 99% of them come with a 75mm from the factory whether they are TMF based or GTA42 based. Low horsepower units came with a 71mm GTA42 base typically.

If you are serious you are severely over complicating a run of the mill 60s.
Gotta have those spools!
"Yes I currently get 10mpg uphill hauling the statue of liberty but I want better mpgs and more power. It has to spool better than stock. I have $263 to spend. Its a detroit."

Yeah I'm a nerd. I have all the software and flash it probably a couple times a week. I've opened the valve cover dozens of times playing games with different clearances on the valves. I even have a digital egt gauge. Divorced compressor intake. Walker mega flow muffler straight out the rear (weed burner). Fun!
As far as spooling when you're shifting hundreds of times a day yes it's important when you drive through the back roads of Wyoming at high elevation yeah it's important. Don't forget not wanting just to dump a **** load of fuel getting your truck and oil dirty. You're wasting fuel at and richer than the smoke limit. Not to mention soot is an abrasive.
But you're likely right about my expectations.
Hey if there's something wrong with my engine I'm all ears.
It is written in crayon on the dash of every freightliner.
That is until the FL actually has a cat in it.
And now the 3rd "big truck tuna" is here!
Basically it seems you started this thread wanting to hear answers that supported your ideas. Obviously that has failed miserably and you don't want to take any advice of anyone that might actually know what works. Leon forgot more about the 12.7 than most will know and you took what he did, and has done for a ton of trucks and screwed it up.
If you want to mess with W/M then go ahead but your going to need a huge tank. Meanwhile you'll get your butt handed to you by a mildly tuned truck running the correct parts.
I just wanna make you aware, because I don't think you know this...
You're arguing with a turbo manufacturer that does a great deal of work with class 8 stuff, and a top notch high hp class 8 engine builder/truck owner/ and I've heard rumors he's drove one like twice.
These guys aren't Tom and Jerry at the coffee shop. They are well aware of how these engines work and how to make them run.
Might take that into account. I realize you don't like their answers, but it doesn't make them wrong.
Nah, I just talk sh*t. I use someone for tuning for engines with wires. LoL
If you are expecting a 500hp detroit with a 400hp turbo to stay cool pulling a hill then yes the expectations are too high.
Wow detroit is innovative putting rated horsepower on engines....
