Yeah some of these people make me laugh saying a E7 can't live above 500hp Lol. On a fully mechanical E7 I've got Stg 2 Rochester injectors, pump opened up all the way, S475 turbo and the timing set at 21 degrees. No problem keeping it cool and it's lived this way for over 200k since the inframe. No blowby and doesn't use oil. I don't lug it below 1350. Lugging a turned up engine is what will kill it early. It has the 15.3:1 pistons not the 16.9:1 it came with. If you want big power you need the 15.3 pistons. That what the 650 marine engines came with My uncle has a 500 60 series Detroit and it walks away from him like it's not even there. We also have a 99 460 with the blixxton box and it walks away from that too.

https://youtu.be/1a7jNgVgClA Apparently a 1430 E-6 with 3 turbos and some custom pump work. Just a show truck but she hasn't blown up yet. Blew a boot on Dyno

Hmm on top of the hill? Pump and Pantry maybe. That's before heading down the big hill before coming into Tunkhannock. Or there's another on a hill a few miles further D&C they make really good subs/burgers to order not pre made crap. P&G is actually pretty quick now live loading. Gate to gate 2hr avg, even quicker sometimes. They call you when your loaded not you having to constantly call them. I like loading out of the plant better than the drop lot warehouse on top of the hill

Getting right around 6.8-7.0mpg running loaded both ways to Jersey and back with the 93ch. About 6.2 with the 99 but that has 4.42s so it's not terrible for what it is. Bit over spec'd for dragging a van around Lol

I've pulled out of p&g a lot. I live 40 minutes from there up on the NY line. Last exit on 81, exit 230. Nice light loads of paper towels and shit paper. My dad did too when he was with Kane outta Scranton. With my discount I'm paying 5.69 at the mom and pop I fuel at. Usually about 50c off a gallon

The 427 etech has a flatter tq curve. The 460s are more rev happy. The 460s pull the best at 1600-1850 where the 427s like 1400-1600/1650

Took her for a ride today. Just easing in into it hardly smokes at all. Just a light haze of smoke at 1600 on a pull. About 875ish just a hair under 900 on the pyro. No aneroid on the pump but that'll probably end up going back on. I know yours is a play truck (from what i read right?) This will end up getting a 1.45 78 or 80 since its a work truck 15.3 pistons in it now. Came with the 16.9s as a 350

Yea on the 99 we run one. Besides that it's stock otherwise. Definitely noticed a nice hp gain and about 0.5-0.6 mpg increase also. Imo do that 1st and if your not satisfied then go injectors/ turbo

S475 1.32A/R for about 650-700 will work perfectly with stg3. Look into the blixxton programmer from rochester diesel. We run one on a 99 460. Everything else is stock on it and it pulls damn good. Check out this video. A 93 we just put a mechanical P7100 on with some work done to it. Not even close to stock https://youtube.com/shorts/guoqVaulZVk?feature=share

Might have to play with her a bit. Going on the 1st ride tomorrow picking up a whopping 7000 LBS. Timing set conservative at 18°

https://youtube.com/shorts/guoqVaulZVk?feature=share Fully mechanical pump on the 93. 12mm pump maxed out as far it can go. I know it's still a 12mm but the pump guy changed to a diff barrel/plungers The link to YouTube should work. Blacker than black Lol. Prob gonna need 78 or 80mm turbo. The S475 might be too little now

Don't even bother with 427 tips. Go to Rochester diesel or K&S fuel and get injectors. You really won't notice anything different with 427 tips. Get the blixxton and stg2 injectors from rochester (they only make stage 1 and 2 for vmac1 and 2). You can run the stock turbo with the blixxton and stg2 injectors for now if you don't want to do the turbo yet. Install a pyro if you don't have one yet. Don't lug it below 1450 or the pyro will heat up. Imo go with the Borg W S475 1.32 with the other 2 mods and it will pull like a raped ape. Don't lug it below 1400 and it will live a long life. It's better with a 13 but if you just have a 9sp or 10 keep it 1400-1850. Lugging it with more fuel over stock will kill the life expectancy. It will pull down to 1200 but don't do that. I personally grab a gear at 1450-1500 but that's with a 13

The blixxton is a MUST HAVE. Otherwise going stg2 injectors won't feel much different than stock. The blixxton allows the rack to open up all the way and allows it to open sooner than stock

Going stage 2 injectors i would go with a S467 (67mm inducer) from YTS turbo. A few of the guys on here run one and are very happy with the response. We run a S475 1.32A/R with rochester stg2 injectors. I personally love it. It's a bit laggy below 1350-1400 but holy shit it pulls like a bear from there on up. Get the 300$ blixxton tuner if you don't yet have it. That will make the biggest improvement. It pulls 42 psi boost from 1450-1700 with the s475 You can buy a Borg Warner s475 for 675-700

You have a lot of knowledge I bet that S480 spools instantly with that 1.18 A/R. Timing set in the high 20s running those high rpms? I know a lot of pulling 12V are set in the mid 30s We just converted vmac1 to fully mechanical. The guy that built it builds hot rod 12v cummins for sled pulling. I don't exactly what he did to the pump i do know he put a quick rate cam in it and different p/b still 12mm. We're getting it dialed in now. We need to adjust the fuel plate it's only getting 35psi now and 40 with old pump before. Anxious to how it pulls. Timing set at 18 but egt came up quick so it needs a few more deg 20-21 will do. S475 1.32, stg2 injectors from rochester diesel

That seems about right with the blixxton. 33 is what we were pushing with one

Imo going full mechanical is the way to go. Everyone that has driven a full mech says they pull circles around the vmac 1-2. Your already setup for the manual throttle anyways. It's gonna be a royal pain to change everything over to fly by wire

Get rid of the econovance and mount a mechanical p7100 up to it and you'll have a nice mechanical E-7. Gonna need new fuel lines too since moving the pump location. We just did this to our 93. Set the timing around 17-18 deg to start but you'll probably like it right there The pic is upside down Lol but in my avatar that's the mechanical pump we had built. Working on getting the throttle and shut off cable working now. Probably be on the road again by next week You'll also need a diff style coupler on the end of the pump. I don't know the # off the top of my head but I'll get it. Bout 600$ from mack

They're happy in the 1300-1700 range

Not much you can do like you stated already have the blixxton. The throttle response is like that because of the EPA not wanting it to smoke too much down low. The blixxton I feel helps a lot imo. You should think about stg2 injectors and a diff turbo. That's what we did with the 93. We also bought the new blixxton for our 99 460 E-tech and that really woke it up. Still can't out pull the 93 tho. But with injectors and a turbo I bet it'll give it a run for its money then

15-40 Rotella. Change every 15k. Both trucks never use more than half a gallon between changes. Works good for us

The s475 turbo i suggested is 600-700 brand new from Borg Warner. But you do need bigger injectors to run it. Stage 2 or 3 from rochester would work good with that setup. Or call k&s and ask what injectors they would use for the setup On a 93 with stage 2 injectors i see 42psi with that turbo from 1400-1750ish before it starts to drop off

Instead of OEM injectors look up KS fuel or rochester diesel. Ks is cheaper than rochester. That's the way I'd go if wanting more horse. Leave maxi file in it. It produces a more usable power band than say a straight 460 file. If upgrading the turbo look at the yt467 or s475 BW Personally i like the big S475 1.32A/R. It's a tad laggy off the line (not too much) it pulls good down to 1300 and up top 1500-1750 rpm is where you see the advantages over the smaller turbo

Your temps are fine. We run a little bit bigger turbo (s475 1.32ar) and have the same temps as you. As long as we keep it above 1400 the pyro stays below 1000. 1650-1700 on a hard pull she's right around 900-950 and on flat ground around 700

I didn't realize e6 pump would mount up? When were swapping out the vmac1 for the mech pump were getting rid of the econovance all together. Takes some hp to turn that. Mount the pump and get new lines is all. As for the timing I'd stay around 17°. The guy that built our pump is very knowledgeable and he said right around there. Too far advance and you'll lose all the low rpm grunt. Better to be a tad retarded than too advanced. You can fool the computer on the vmac and mess with the timing. The TEM (timing event marker) drill that out and in large the 2 slots so you can have a tiny bit of play up and down. Forget which way is advance and retard. You can also take the tone wheel off and then rotate it just a cunt hair. To fool it that way it's the opposite of what you'd think.
