A 50, As you will find after installing it is completely useless and way way to big for a daily driver!

Well tuned truck, and ALOT of fuel. I made 839 on a 66 so I dont really see where you going with this. A 50 is a miserable charger to drive everyday. And he dosent tow with a s400/s510...SORRY no way. Twins will also spool alot faster.

Besides the fact, 850? Well that dosent make much sense why spend that much money on a set of twins thats capable of so much more? Are you positive thats what the setup is?

39PSI max efficent boost on stock HX50

Let's stop this in it's tracks, I can see this thread going in a negative direction. Instead of debating this on the boards Make a telephone call to HTT Turbo 801-304-0700 Explain to them your going to be deciding between a HX-50 and a s400/s510 setup and see what the say

A HX50 is not a very good turbo for Daily Driving. Spool up will SUCK!

50psi is WELL out of its range, Just because it will do it does not mean its helping, all your pushing at those pressures is hot air.
