The old school 370s are a 5X.012. That's a bit of extra fuel. That was the set up my 91.5 had when I bought it, 21 cm2 exhaust housing included. The EGTs, however were not much of a problem. When I switch to the 16cm2, then EGTs became a concern though the lag went away. You can upgrade your H1C, but there are other "cast offs" from newer trucks out there for the same price or cheaper.

I would go with a HE351 off a 3rd gen. The stock hc1 is to small for those mods.

before people go recommending away in the blind let me ask you a question

what do you want to do with the truck?

a street turbo wont be good for the track a track turbo wont be good for towing ect ect

so make up your mind on what you want to do and then we can get somewhere
