This one is a 1st gen cummins non-intercooled but I am going to intercool it off the bat then I have plans of doing twins with a hx35/hx60. I don't know what injectors size/spray pattern I want yet. I am just worried about it fitting because I want to use my a/c. And of course we have a evaporator on the wall thats half the size of the motor.

What is your opinion on what you would do with the cummins?

Unlike the intercooled Cummins, the non-intercooled already has the large injectors that are good for making power.

Why not use the Dodge A/C pump and tie it into the lines?

Are you going to o-ring your engine to support that kind of boost?

What kind of power are you looking for and how much do you want to spend? The VE pump is pretty much maxed out at 350-400 hp. If you want to go more than that, install a P-Pump.

I would install a good turbo such as a HX35, HX40 or he351ve rather than go into all the expense and complication of installing dual turbo's. That'll give you enough power to break any automatic transmission behind it and get good fuel economy.
