What do you do with the truck. If your pullin or runnin your foot hard those 100hp sticks are gonna heat the stock turbo up pretty good. Not to mention if you have an auto tranny it's not gonna last long.

Not sure what the Quadzilla 120 is in your signature but unless you have a box of some sort to turn the fuel delivery up sticks are only gonna make a minimal difference no matter what size you go with.

if your going to be upgrading the turbo I would go with the 100's if not I would go less as it will get warm depending on what your going to be doing with the truck. People say you can run them but you will have to drive by the gauge and to me it's not fun

70's will be fine as long as you don't crank up that tuner and hammer the go pedal to long. You will have to watch the EGT guage but it won't be all that bad.

Just to be real honest though the RV275's give you an honest 35HP, are easy on the truck and will give you that extra kick in the seat your lookin for during street use. They're just not a competition stick. They are by far the best bang for the buck for just an everyday driver lookin to play a little.

There's no good one answer that fits everybodies needs. It all depends on your driving style and how hard your willin to push your truck in the name of fun and that answer is different for every one of us.

id say get the 100's and start saving for a clutch...100's will get hot but you'd have to be on it a long time to start getting dangerous...just watch the gauge and back off when you hit say 1400...guys will be pushing 1800* in the quarter (that's starting to play with fire though)...call up gus at FBD and get some of his budget injectors...cant beat them for the price

Back off at 1400 degrees. Not in my truck Dude. I've pulled loads that most guys wouldn't dream of hookin up to and spent a lot of this trucks life off road in some pretty good slop sometimes with a trailer connected. What I'm tryin to say is I don't baby this old farm truck much but it's never seen anything over 1000 degrees on that egt guage and only seen that a few times.

This is what I meant when I said it all depends on how hard your willin to hammer your truck. And not pickin on you Gixxer, this wasn't meant to sound like a criticism of anybody just that all of us have different ideas of what normal conditions are.
