I'm pretty excited, I've got my truck booked in for May 8th to do some major renovations. The Twin Turbo kit from Industrial Injection / 60 HP Injectors / FASS system / CP3 upgrades / and Water Meth will all finally be going in.
I decided that this set of "Mods" is best left to the professionals! As soon as everything is ready to go I'll have to get some pictures and videos posted up on here.

I will probably be requiring some tires after the first week, does anyone know of a 10 Ply that can actually hook-up on the road and handle a little gravel?

Depends on how much you want to spend and how much you are going to abuse them on the road.

Lol, Clancy. Your the only one with a video camera!

And I'm willing to look at any tire I usually pay $300-400 and they last about 6-7 months if I'm lucky. I've run Super Swamper M-16's, Toyo Open Country MT, and Mickey Thompson ATZ's. They all have there upsides but I want something more street friendly. The only ones that have ever lasted me over 35K km are the M-16's suprisingly enough.

I've been running Pro-Comps on my CTD for several years now. They hold up to the weight & wear / tear very well.

Tow a 24' toy hauler w/ them regularly and the E-Rating stands up great.

Good road manners. I spend a lot of time in the wet and they do pretty dang well. I do tend to skip the rear end if I've got more than about 10+ PSI from a stop in 2wd.

In the gravel, mud, snow and all other crap they clear out well and grab well.


I personally don't do a bunch of smokie burn outs (trans not built yet) but have seen plenty do plenty w/ Comps and never had a problem.


Good luck :thumbs:


The II is a great set up! I don't think you could possibly be disappointed.




(I'm being lazy and not back - tracking your posts) Are you already running full gauges? If not have them toss in a low-pressure fuel warning light when they wire up the FASS. Unless your fuel gels you probably wont ever seen low pressure situation but it's MUCH better to know than to starve the system.

I also went with some Cooper Zeon LTZ tires. 275/70R18 They are made to be a hybrid between a sport truck and an all train... But a 10 ply so I thought I'd give them a try.

As soon as I go from a stage 3 to a stage 5 tranny that can properly handle that much horse power and torque.

I was actually told to run a stock tranny until with a triple plate torque converter until it blew and then get a heavy hauler built up by NADP. I talked to BD Diesel, Supreme Diesel, and NADP. All agreed any over the counter tranny build would not be the best bang for the buck.
By the time you buy there kit and then all the additional piecies that even a stage 5 does not include, it`s cheaper to buy one pre built and installed for about 6K. PPE stage 5 with input and output shafts already runs just over 4k, there are also a few plastic pieces inside they recomend upgrading but I can`t remember them right now. Did I mention the heavy hauler also comes with 1 year 25,000km warrenty...

Complication with the twins! Got the call today that they seem to have a piece in the kit that was sent incorrect... Now here's hoping they can find a 3" to 3 1/2" 90 deg hose fitting, industrial I guess sent a 45 deg and that is the only thing left to wrap up the install. I wonder how much that little chunk of rubber is going to cost me?

I'm just hoping they can actually source one and not have to get one from industrial out of Salt Lake. I want to drive the thing when I get home!
