you cant chip a 12V, you can do quite a few power mods to it, i go to a lot of truck pulls in the Wisconsin/mn area and i have seen some badass 12Vs. the 24 valve can be chipped up and that is a good place to start. I would go 12V if you want a mechanical injection truck, or if you want electronics go with a 24 valve.

Can't chip 12v cause they are purely mechanical but they are easy to make power from anyway and a simpler (still not easy) swap

But would you want to transplant it into a other truck and have to work out all the electronics?
I personally would be more concerned about what's easier to swap as both are pretty easy to add power

With whats in your sig, I can imagine it make crazy power... But really how streetable is it? lol

That much fuel with a 66/s488 set up... Those are big ass turbos lol. That's something you see on a CR with 150+HP nozzles and EFI lol. With the lag I bet it smokes like a freight train before those turbos light :roflsquared:

lol me too! Those injectors he has are I wanna say roughly 250-350HP... With the addition of his AD 200 and built VP, he has no problems with fuel lol. I'm just really curious how quick the turbos light without giggle gas
