What do you do with it? Tow? Race? DD? Sled pull?

I've tried every turbo configuration available with 62 & 64 compressors [seriously]. I Daily drive, tow 16k-18k#, occasional racing & sled pull. I had a hard time deciding which combo works best for my needs. I've also tried multiple sets of injectors as well. My 2 favorite combos are the 62/71/14 with 125-150hp injectors or the Super B Special with 200hp injectors. Both combos are very streetable & tow incredibly well [not that you care about towing] I ran the 62/71/14 with II Dragon Fly injectors [150hp] & egts were well in check [1400* wot over 100mph] Never seen over 1250* unless over 100mph. I switched to M5's [200hp] & egts were about the same until I got over 3500rpm, then they would skyrocket to 1800*. I switched to the BD Special & my max egts are 1400 @ 100mph. Hope this helps.

the problem you,l have for stop and go around town is you will loose your instant throttle response since you have a hy35. seems like a guy needs 2 trucks one for racing one for around town. with over 100 hp injectors your mileage falls of , so if these arn,t an issue go for it.. bigger turbos make top end hp. loose bottom end .:
