As far as a fuel pin.... I strongly recommend the BD pin. That's what I use and the only one I have come across that isn't cut too deep.
Injectors? what kind of power are you really expecting? I would actually recommend pump tuning and do the turbo first and then see how your boost and egts are and decide if you want more fuel.
As far as turbo.... You might be cheaper to buy another turbo than put on a 60 cold side and buy an turbine housing.
Injector lines....waste of time
I/c....either will work. Powerstroke is usually less fab work. I run the 2nd gen cooler, so it can be done.
3" tubes - sounds great
60# springs - sounds great
Then lastly.... as far as injectors and turbo.... how much money are actually comfortable with spending on this truck?
RCCUMMINS89 wrote:As far as combo (turbo to injectors)..... solely depends on how you want the truck to drive and how much power you are looking for. Do you want it smoke free? Ok to smoke, as long as it clears it up? Laggy ok? Want it super responsive? Want low end torque? Want top end power?

However...... 1000 ft/lbs of torque is going to require compounds and a large set of injectors..... and it will definitely black out a freeway when you lay into it. That is a tall order on a non smoking ve pump.
If you back off the power goals.... a lot.
5x11 SAC injectors and a Super B turbo will describe that perfectly. But one will find themselves around the 325hp/750 tq.

However.............weight vs hp/tq ratio is what makes the 1st gen trucks pretty sweet. A 300rwhp 1st gen feels like hell on wheels.
At that 325....I'm including all the "normal stuff" like fuel pin, gov spring, pump tuning, etc.
If one used the mechanical pump, that would be all you would need. No NEED for an electrical pump on a ve pump Cummins unless one plans on big numbers (p.s. no one has broken 500rwhp on a 12mm ve pump on fuel only yet).
As far as a new turbo....... it's not necessary.
It's just the 60/14 upgrades fall a little short of an he351cw (take off turbo off a cr dodge), which falls a little short on the super b.
Oh, and I'm not one to push new turbos on our trucks to say they need it. The hp number in my signature was done on an he351cw and stock injectors that had some love done to it.

What part of Kentucky are you in? I'm up in Northern KY, Walton. If you can get ahold of him Brian Block aka KTACummins would be one to pic his brain. He pushed 488hp/11xx tq on a single in his tool truck. He is in central My and a mod here but haven't seen him on in forever.
