Hi guys,
I found this site looking for some good info on the 12V Cummins. I have a 99.5 F-350 PSD that I have modded over the years to make it like I like it. I have a fully built BTS Trans that should be able to take anything I throw at it.
Please do not make this a PSD -V- Cummins bashing session...
I like my truck and is runs great. It has over 200K on it and the only parts replaced have been a water pump and CPS.
Here is my question. I want to get about 450 HP out of my truck and I have a couple of options. My dad owns a moving business and he has three PSD's and three Cummins. One of the 97 Cummins got recked and my dad is going to part the truck out and he said I can have what I want.
The Cummins has a little over a 100K on it. I know what it will take to get my PSD to run like I want it but I do not know what the cost to install the Cummins and mod it to make 500 HP.
If I stick with my PSD here are my plans.
BTS Twin HP Pumps - $2500
Injectors - $2500
Turbo - $1500
Fuel System - $600
Total = $7100
Since I can get the Cummins for free what I would like to know is what it will take to mod the Cummins to make to 450 HP. I will be doing to work myself so labor is not an issue.
The cost to get the parts for the swap run about $3K and I hope to get about $1.5K out of my PSD. So the cost to get the Cummins in my truck and running will be $1.5K. I just need to know what mods are required to get the Cummins to 450HP.
This truck is my daily driver and I need to to be able to tow when I need it so the mods need to be dependable.
Thanks,
Barry
