I would go for the 3k myself.....................you should get around 3400 with em

4k is just to much for the Cummins.IMHO

If you look at the at the range on the camshaft there is no reason why you should even think about putting a 4k kit in. plus the more rpms you turn the more of a chance your taking to hurting the engine. most people thing bigger is better. not always true. putting them in not hard at all. I put the 3k in mine. you just have to be careful. make sure you use a magnet. it helps alot. if you pull alot you will love having them in. pulling around 20,000 going up hills and the rpms going to 2200 and start defueling sucks. but good luck on it.
