I am replacing my engine at the first of the year.. It will have a hamilton cams big stick, studded/oringed head, 4k gsk, 10plate in 215pump with stock delivery valves.. I will be running my ddp3's for the time being and plan on upgrading to a good burning 150hp injector in the future.. I would like to get as close to 500hp as possible.. I want to go ahead and put a set of twins on the truck for towing.. I would like good spool up, reasonable egt's, and a good price.. I have been eyeing the BD twins, they seem to be a decent set at a very nice price.. What are yall thoughts??? Thanks Wesley
 
If your goal is 500 hp then the bd's are a great choice. I have them and have absolutly no complaints they should keep up to 550hp cool as well.

Can you send me pics of them installed??? I was wondering how the heater core lines were ran?? Also wondering if they clear the battery.. What did you pay for them..

Yes they will clear the battery. Shouldnt have to trim anything if I remamber correctly. The heater lines get run over on another rather than side by side. I bought mine used with a brand new bottom turbo for 2k. Here are some pictures

What did you try to say??? By the way that is one sick ride in your avatar...
 
those bd twins are WAY too small IMO.
but.... i bet they would spool instantly (just like a stock hx)

62 over 74 or 75 would be best for ya WES.
