Better yet, for $450 to $1,200 you’ll have an injector that’s easily capable of supporting your 550 hp goal. While hole count and hole size can vary among 150hp injector nozzles, the versions produced by reputable builders such as Scheid Diesel, Industrial Injection, Dynomite Diesel Products (pictured), and Diesel Auto Power definitely deliver. From everything we’ve seen over the years, 150hp injectors represent the best route to getting your ’98.5-’02 Dodge into 550hp territory. But not only that, it can be daily-driven, doesn’t tax the 5.9L’s factory internals, and can be realized without breaking the bank.
Thanks to modern turbo technology, proven fueling enhancements, and the right tuning, 550 hp, and 1,100 lb-ft are achievable. They are often ignored, skipped over, and deemed “not worth it” by many enthusiasts, but we’re here to remind everyone that the 24-valve Cummins is a viable candidate for making horsepower. If you’re ready to effectively triple the horsepower of your ’98.5-’02 Dodge, the ultimate, daily drivable, 550-plus hp combination is presented here. The factory rotating assembly has zero issues tolerating 550 hp and 1,100 lb-ft on a regular basis. Perhaps the best part is the fact that you don’t need to make any hard-part changes in the bottom end. For insurance, minor valvetrain upgrades and head studs are preferred, but other than that the path to making 550-hp (or more) is clear. In a nutshell, it calls for a set of 150hp injectors, a hotrod VP44, a chassis-mounted electric lift pump system, a turbo upgrade, and the right tuning. This time, we’re examining a 550hp part’s recipe we’ve seen play out on the dyno time and again. Case in point, many seem to forget how easy it is-especially in the modern era-to reach 500-hp with the 24-valve platform. Sure you’re not going to squeeze 650hp out of a mild set of injectors and a turbo upgrade like you can on a common-rail, or unlock 100 extra ponies for free like you can with a P-pumped 12-valve, but the VP44-fueled 24-valve can still be made to turn out respectable horsepower. Aside from the way it compared, stock, to the outgoing 12-valve it replaced in 1998, the 24-valve Cummins has never really received its due credit for horsepower potential. The second installment in this underdog diesel series brings us to the VP44-fueled, 24-valve 5.9L ISB Cummins that powered second-gen trucks from ’98.5-’02.
