OK, For all who claim it is stupid, I recommend you need more comic books,
The transformation is complete and wonderful
Thank you all ;D
Congratulations, Dave. It's all about a feeling, isn't it? If you feel good driving with more power...then 'nuff said!
Enjoy!!!!!!!! ;D
Peter,
Yes, Thank you, it is all about weight vs hp and torque, not donkeys and elephants.
When you look at the numbers, the ISM 500 in a 01, 1 slide, 320, 36' is a spunky critter indeed. ;D
The warm fuzzy is this is all done with Cummins engine blessing and normal parts.
Dave,
Even better knowing you won't be overtaxing some critical components.
...FLOOR IT BABY ! ! !
From my perspective as long as you can afford it 500 hp in a 36 foot coach is just cool...
I remember a couple years back MOT was selling an M11 coach that the owner had retrofitted in a 500hp ISM.

I find the new setup gave better fuel mileage returning from Cummins shop than the two other trips i had made there. It is way too early to make any real evals on this setup, heck I only have about 70 miles on it so far.
my cost is about $3,315.00 for the bypass turbo, proper intake manifold, bypass control valve and the new ECM programing, installed about 4 hour job. All new equipment plus a good engine inspection for any and all possible issues, none found.
Feels very strong, more like additional 100 or more hp, just jumps up and gets with it. Can not imagine not having the added power now. If I were on the cheap, I would have just done the resonator as it added real good performance alone.
Oh yes, I changed the VMSpc to the 500 settings. The turbo boost showed 32.1 psi at one point, a new high.
Boys & Toys ;D
Dave I thought I had outgrown it, but your making me jealous.
That's only about a grand more than a banks kit installed... Not bad! I figured 5K+
Hi Dave M,
Just like that hot rod Lincoln, and that feeling we all know to well. Great job!
