I just caught back up with the ’09 Dodge Mega Cab we experimented with over the winter, and it’s running even better now…

 


The truck is now equipped with one of Source Automotive’s 6.7L twin-turbo kits, which retained the stock VNT as the high pressure charger, and the factory exhaust brake. An S400-based low pressure charger sits on bottom, and the truck now makes 70 psi of boost on the street. And, obviously, hauls quite a bit more tail now.

To remedy the 6.7L Cummins’ tendency to pop head gaskets (when modified), the head was fire-ringed at Scheid Diesel and now uses a modified 5.9L head gasket. Stiffer, 4,000-rpm valvesprings and oversized valve seats were also added (the oversized exhaust seats will prevent them from falling out in high-heat scenarios). The head is also now fastened to the block with custom age ARP head studs torqued to 170 ft-lbs.

We’re going to see what kind of numbers it will lay down on the dyno next week. We’re hoping for 600hp.
