Its a Daily driver, tows my mud truck and atv's and hauls a pallet of salt ever now and than and help buddys hual stuff sometime's. Just tring to get alitte more power and some black smoke.

Was told a denny t fuel pin, 3200 spring, New ear 370's or 435's, cold air intake(makeing my own), and a S300 with 14mm housing or a HX40 with 16mm housing is the best towing set-up?

if you have a manual you can do 12 or 14cm housing if you have the s300, if you have an automatic a 12cm will spool better.

KTA put up a the Flow rates of the 57 S300 vs teh Super HX40 and the super 40 flowed more. So if it was between those two I would go that route.

For me though I would go with the 62/65 S300 For the $20 extra you get ALOT nicer turbo with a stronger shaft and one that will flow more air then teh Super 40. Also with teh 65 wheel and 14cm housing spool up should be great.

For my money yes. but its your truck. I see your wanted a 12cm housing, if you can get it get that. It will spool GREAT but the top end might suffer and your EGT's at WOT will be higher

Well im not at WOT very often, just ever now and than messing around with my buddies leaving work or getting around somenoe that is giong alittle to slow, and manily city driving unless towing the mud truck to a mud event.

So the 62/65/12 for $920 is well worth it and the route to go?

Thanks guy's
