I'm not new to the diesel world or the aftermarket scene, and i'm more familiar with the VP44 cummins more than the common rails but my question is this - i know whats good for an engine(cummins) and whats bad but i want to know how to properly make big numbers from the common rail 5.9L by working on the fuel system(injectors, FASS, dual CP3??) and should i go with Edge or Banks, compound turbos or twins, etc... again i do know more about the 98-02 VP44 engines but i do know my fair share about the common rail. any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.

prob should move this to the 03 and up section im a 2nd gen guy, but id start w/ the basics, exhuast, intake, gauges...i personally would run a smarty or a PPE on a common rail...from there i know youll need to upgrade the fuel system but that is not my place to answer...oh yeah, as always, start saving for a tranny...good luck:thumbsup:

if it's an 05 up, the fuel system ain't a bad problem till ya get to dual fuelers, and, the Smarty is like the holy grail of CR programmers..:thumbsup:

go ask in the CR section though, we're all a bunch of dumb a$$es drivin trucks w/ the worst IP that Bosch ever put out:S::S::S::S:

Ill chime in. Dont waste money on Banks crap. Depending on what you want power-wise, depends on the need for dual pumps and the programmer/module you use. Big numbers can mean 500hp to one person and 1200 to another.

Twins is a loosely used term used when talking about compound turbos. Twins would be running two identical turbos, like dual Silver 62s. Compounds use a larger primary (i.e. S400 in various sizes) and a smaller secondary (i.e. stock turbo or 62/71/13)

If your going for big numbers, like 700+, Id go compounds (like the aforementioned 62/71/S400), dual pumps, Smarty/MP8 (or if an 03/04, Smarty/TST), F1 or DDP nozzles, and obviously studs and springs, and lift pump. Granted, gauges are a MUST before any of those should be added

banks all you need to know is friends don't let friends drive banks. Get the smarty it destroys anything on the 3rd gens. And get a better lift pump
