you pump has a stock fuel plate in it. you can move it all the way forward then back it up 1/16 of and inch. you could put a #10 or #100 in it. more boost you can pinch off waste gate line.

How heavy do you tow??

Id say a #10 for slid most of the way forward for screwing around, and then when you want to tow heavy, back it off some.
