Default All 2018s with blowers chime in!

What all is needed fueling wise to boost these trucks? I come from the pre DI 15-17 mustang world so all we needed for big power on pump gas was a fuel pump voltage booster (boost a pump or BAP) and some injectors.. I know these new trucks have Direct Injection so im asuming all they need is injectors ? Probably going the procharger route with our truck!

Also how much power are you guys making and which blower do you run? Thanks!

Just larger injectors if you plan on staying around 12# of boost running 93 octane. I think you can go up 2 more # on 93 octane but not positive about that.

E85 or more boost calls for a bigger fuel pump and/or other possible fuel system upgrades.

With the stock fuel system you should be able to go as high as E50.

I talked to Dorian and he ran Torco 93 octane booster with 93 octane when he went from a 3.725" to 3.5" pulley. So it looks like 12# of boost is close to max on straight pump gas.

Dudes truck hauls ***, I will likely do the same when doing a lot of spirited driving except I run VP Octanium in my 93.

hey VRP, what supercharger head unit are you going with? I would love to see what a procharger f-series would do. The curve on the P and D series has always been lack luster but that seems to be about all you see.

By stock you mean stock fuel pump and upgraded 38lb injectors that come with the Whipple Stage 1 and 2 kits?

You are correct. I guess I didn’t word that real well.
