My 01 24v is now a dedicated pull truck. I am looking at either a CR or big P pumped 12v. I got used to the of the old truck so I am looking to have atleast 800hp on the street. What do you guys think?
With all the melting common rails my vote would be 12v. Sure you can get the with better driveability in a cr but until things are figured out to prevent melting 12v without a doubt. Either way will not be an easy road!
My Cr is around the 800 mark and I can also tow with it. Things is you just have to detune it to 500hp or so to tow. The guys that typically burn down CR's are the ones that pull or drag. High RP Combined with lost of boost= burnt piston. A High hp cr can tow you just cant have it cranked up
I daily drive with it tuned just over 800. With torque management down, it is mild and not much smoke and I got a solid 20 mpg last tank full on easy driving. I tune down to about 500 for towing a 10k tt. No problems.
