John, thanks for your reply. I think i'm on the right track, but now I'm a little confused. I dont know whether or not to send my 180 pump out, or to spend the money on a 215 pump and send it out to be benched. I'll have to give some shops a call and see what they recommend. I would agree I was a little narrow minded on II, I had forgot about places like Dynomite Diesel and Scheid. I guess its because I was surfing the II site, and it gave me flow numbers and a price. I'll have to call around.
Oh, and I'm also considering twins now, like a silver 62 or 64 over a s400 74mm. But i've got my hx40, an HT3B and hot and cold pipes already. I still like the idea of a drop in charger though.

Buck:
You are welcome Sir!
Let me add that if you are thinking about going with a twin set-up, that
HX-40/HT3B combo has worked very well for alot of guys in the past. As I recall, that was one of the original "combinations" that Piers Harry used early on and we all know how well his trucks all ran!:rockwoot: If you already have those turbos, you could definitely save some $$$ there!
At present I am running the other combination you mentioned, specifically, the 62/12 or 62/14 over the S-400. I like that bottom S-400 because there are so many "variables" you can go to later. I know that some of the guys have gone to the S-480 and that seems to give some real good power, but I am unsure of it on my 96' as I don't want to deal with the bottom-end "lag."
I do not feel that it is as much of an issue with the 24 valve or CR Dodges as they have the "variable timing" where us 12 valve guys have the "mechanical
or static timing." IMHO, it makes a big difference.
Lastly, I wanted to tell you that IMHO a well calibrated Bosch 180 P-7100 Pump can be set-up to deliver plenty of fuel for the numbers you are looking to achieve Buck! Again, that option can save you some $$$$! I looked high and low for over three years before I found the Bosch 913 I have on my 96' right now. My experience was that there were alot of 215/913's out there, but boy a good number of them were priced very high and some in terrible shape! As I recall, a brand new 913 from Bosch was around $3,000.00.
Again,......good luck to you Buck.
