Welcome, those 12 valvers are nice there are afc mods you could do, starwheel adjustments, fuel plates you can either buy or grind yourself the mechanical motor is alot cheaper to start modding than the 24v
have fun

Do you have a pyrometer?
What are you running for a transmission?
How tweaked is your pump? Fuel screw, fuel cone?

If I had $500, I would be looking at a Stage III compressor upgrade from HTT and a piston lift pump.
But it'd be nicer to save up a little bit more and get a different turbo entirely.

And that's under the assumption that you aren't running without a pyro or with a stock TC.

sorry i forgot to add to my sig that i have autometer boost and pyrometer guages and the pump turned all the way Ive Got 3000$ in the tranny built with stainless steel instead of aluminum i cant remember what torque converter they got but i know it was a high performace one. I am leaning toward a compressor upgrade then maybe propane
