So I was looking into the ATS Aurora Plus Add-A-Turbo kit for my '12. I really like the kit but after doing some more research I really like the Industrial Injection set up as well. I was talking to some of the tech's at Industrial to find more info on there kit. I told him I wanted to hit 650 rwhp with this kit and if it could do it? I said I planned a FASS fuel system, 85% CP3 and 100hp sticks and I was told that would get me real close but to be sure he would got with some 125hp sticks and I would need custom tuning. The problem with that is I havean XRT Pro and when I asked him if I could run my XRT on the Hot setting he said he doesnt know if thst would get me to the 650rwhp.

Any body know if I could get there just on a Hot tune or if I went with even more fueling upgrades such as larger than 125hp injectors if I could hit my mark? basically I dont want to get rid of my XRT right now and I feel soon it will be impossible to find a Mini Max race tuner!

Won't be impossible. Add some more fuel and turn the tune down. (125hp sticks should be enough) H&S's tuning is pretty aggressive on the top end. I would start off on mild and then try wild. We just recently got custom tuning. Everybody has been doing it all this time without. No reason not to try.

Custom tuning surely helps. Especially once modifying it. But its not an end all.

I was wondering the same thing. As I have been thinking about the II setup.

My vote goes for the ats kit. I like the way it performs and the kit itself is high quality.

 

[Dieselfan2011]

I will look into the ats. Thanks!

Up until EFI and MCC, canned tunes can and did support 1000+ hp. So no, you don't need custom tuning for 650hp. Can custom tuning be beneficial? Yes, in that you can control EGT's, smoke, etc., better with a tune built for your truck.

Thanks Dave and ATS.
I personally like the ATS kit better, but as of right now they dont have the downpipe or wastegate set-up for their kit. As of like a week or two ago they had the prototypes and were working towards a final product. So if you can wait a short they will have that stuff as well.

I had an 06 with twins,port/polish,90h.p. nozzles,fire ringed,arp,cam,stiffer valve springs,fluidamper, and all the other good crap, but my suggestion to you is before you look to hit that h.p. you should get water meth to control your exhaust temps and perhaps a aftermarket injection pump or twin cp3's. I had an edge with attitude that was supposedly 160h.p. stacked with a smarty with the tnt-r software that was supposedly 230h.p, but my main issue was fuel pressure. Everytime I tried to turn my chips up I would loose fuel pressure on the rail. I had the dual fuel line from the injection pump as well. Theres my 2 cents worth.

I've actually considered doing water meth first but we'll see. The fueling and turbos kind of go together in my opinion so when I am ready to do them I'll probably order the add a turbo kit then sit on it until I have all my fueling upgrades too then put them all in at once
