What are his goals blah blah blah get all the bs questions answered first.
 
I would get Haisley 5k springs instead of Columbus, they are easier to set. But otherwise listen to Weston, he'll point you in the right direction.

Lose the HE351, what kind of budget?

I'm surprised you didn't catch the full cuts first. Just send more business to the guy selling turbos. Lol

He351 and a ht4c have made 750hp, just lookup the junker drag truck thread. And on a budget I wouldn't hesitate to use the 351. 400 bucks vs 1400 bucks on a drop in s300.

You mean the 7/14s.
 
Yeah I can get a 351 for like 300 bucks on eBay and its already a gated turbo lol and I'm getting the s475 pretty cheap too

What about 7/14s?

Thanks cross ill do haisleys 5ks instead

Does everything else seem to be in pretty good order ?
 
Quick question what's the difference between haisleys 5ks and Columbus'?
 
Don't cut the Afc foot, ditch the full cuts, stick with the 5x.016's. I've got some delivery valves I'll sell ya dirt cheap to help keep on your budget theme.

Ron Allen and I have discussed on several occasions how people using the HE351 try so hard to make good power, but often come up short. I guess some people will never realize that the HE351 is just a bottleneck in a system that desires flow. The "butt dyno" is an interesting thing, but the real world results are often quite the opposite.
 
So y'all are saying with a different secondary you will get a more butt in seat feeling ?

What is usually the end result horsepower with the 351?
 
My buddy has a twin setup for his 24v it's a dtec 62 over s475 he has for sale what might I have to build/modify for them to work

I like bottle necks...preferably at the top of a beer, but a soda works too at times, but not as good as a good scotch.

Don't run a dtec. Lower your power goal if you want a tiny secondary.

End result hp of 351 is pretty broad question.
