If you want to have a turbocharged or supercharged truck, the best thing is to buy a diesel or a Ford Lightning.
Or a psyclone or typhoon.
Those can be had nowadays for less than the cost of a VK56 on a pallet.

Show me a set up that works with injectors 440cc and larger without sending false signals to the ecu and tcu. If the larger injectors worked why won't the TC lock up on its own? The reason is the ecu is detecting too much fuel. If you can get enough air to mix with that much fuel and have it fall withen the predetermined parameters the TC would lock up when it is supposed to.

For someone who wants to keep the stock ecu and tcu working together maybe a dual stage injectors setup could be a solution. With a maf clamp to lock the signal at a predetermined max reading. I'm thinking about an extra 8 injectors (cheap 240cc's from a non-turbo Talon/Eclipse) plumbed to the intake manifold and controlled by a Megasquirt standalone. Ahh, it's great to dream!!

Do your thing. It's your money. The question remains; how many trannys have been toasted because tuners have decided, 'Oh 500cc injectors will work'? The answer is too many.

I have raced a Hemi once. I'm guessing the truck was a 2005-2008, so it wasn't then newest version of the Ram. I will say that I did not get smoked at all. The first race was from a standstill to about 80 mph and I won by approx a truck lenght. Several minutes later he came from behind and took a running start at me as if I wasn't paying attention to him... a sad attempt at a 'sucker punch.' I guess his ego was too hurt bad to just let it be. I saw him as he was switching lanes to 'blow by me,' I nailed it, however his momentem carried him to where his rear bumber was even with my front bumper. I caught him pretty quickly and was pulling a head of him right around 90 mph. At that point my wife was really pissed so I had to back off. I clearly won both of the races though.

if he's always getting smoked by hemis he needs to learn to get it out of first gear and shift up. lol. hemis dont "smoke" us.

ok so let me get this straight 600+hp=550 and 500+hp=440 injectors i really dont want to change out anythin but the injectors and a intank fuel pump do you think it will hold 8psi?
 
#25 ·
You need the correct injectors and the intake tube needs to be the size that correlates to the size of the injectors.

All i have is my stock v8 5.6 engine i havent added anything to my truck its a 2wd and I hate to not have more speed but i wouldnt change a titan for any other truck? do yo know any tricks i can do to make it go faster?
ok, turbo is getting way ahead of things IMO. start with exhaust, CAI, and tuner. that will yield you probably 20+hp at the wheels at a minimum.

Take your truck to a dyno to baseline if you can. What year is your truck? There are a lot of threads on here telling you what most folks have used to go faster. Do some searching. I would not recommend anything as extreme as a turbo. You can go to headers and a cam for more power of course, but you will have a loud truck and it's certainly more expensive. also get a true trac to hndle the power on the back end.

At the minimum, you should do intake, exhaust, headers, uprev tune, and tru trac. If you want to do boost, you have to build the truck tp handle the extra power.

Do you want a bolt on kit, or do you want to build something yourself like Toomnymods did? I think boost can be done on a Titan, and I think I know how, but i just don't have the funds to do it. I have a supercharger for sale BTW.

IMO: our trucks aren't meant for speed. They are fast for what they are (big huge hunk of metal) pushing you into your seat....but dollar for dollar, your wasting your money to gain a half a second in the 1/4. If you want something fast, go with a sports car or truck or better yet, I myself got a crotch rocket. Once you get into the game of drag racing, you will find out real quick: there's always someone faster than you and that someone thats faster than you is slower than someone else. My motorcycle cost $1000 and does the 0-60 in 3 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 12 and has 80hp and gets 40mpg. Its comparing apples to oranges but seriously, spend your money else where and don't ruin a perfectly good running Titan. I don't want to see a thread posted by you that says: "I added turbo: truck running crappy and slower than ever."
