i believe you only do 1 or 2 clicks on them, might have to idle the truck down.

5k's SUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!! to get set up for the street! best of wishes. they are very very touchy. chances are once you get the idle down the truck will die when you put it in gear or swing 500 rpms going into gear.

Why 5k GSK ? Are you trying to spool a HX82... sure hope you have 120# Valvesprings to go with that..

Can you back off any clicks? I was reading about tightening my stock springs a few clicks to raise the gov., and read that the idle will raise.
