Mid or high tensile I wouldn't spend the extra 5-600 dollars on the high tensile but that your call on how safe you want to be but mids handle 70 on my 06 for 50 k so far you shouldn't have a problem just follow the torque sequence ( should come with the studs ) to a tee. And depending how big of injectors you have if stock or even 125s you really don't want to go past 45 anyways 50 max

I bet you have to run alot of NOS to clean up that large of an injector... What size are they, i have 5x.035s in mine to my knowledge they are the biggest out there....

I have a 72 mm small turbo and a 109 mm big sent the truck to garret had them build those for me then sent the truck to industrial and told them make it run so to be honest idk I do know it smokes like ***** Nelson and takes a while to spool but with a set of custom brembo brake system I can spool to about 130 psi before I leave the line at which point the 24 in wide slicks all fours wheels ( which I soak in hot lap) takeover then when she shifts to second I hit the one red button and when she goes to fourth I bang it back into 2wd . sometime it breaks the tires loose and twice so far it just destored the transfer case. But the cage the dash and the ice to water cooler pretty much the rest me and my mechanic built and she's p-pumped so to answer your question I can't I only asked how much to put on the check I could call tomorrow and found out tho

Yea I don't blame ya my daily drive only has 60 hp inj and a 62mm under a 72mm running about 68 it's nice to know hey this truck will run everyday and at 758 hp it's pretty peppy I would hate driving my 04.5 or 02 everyday but just follow the torque sequence and you'll never have another prob
