Default dv desicions

ok guys im wanting to step up to a bigger set of dvs, its a deal that i dont think i can pass up. what my question is, with the 191 dvs i have and the amount of timing pluse all my fueling mods will a set of full cut dvs be to hot. right now with all my mods pulling 4 sleds up a pass in 5th gear running 70mph im roughly about 1150, runnin emty in 5th up a steeper pass at 60mph i hit 1000, will a #100 plate and full cut dvs be to much?

LC aka full cuts will run hot on anything. There not needed unless your going all out. As far as whats out there I would go with 022s. Thats whats about to be in my truck.

x2 LC and full cuts IMO are for track/ sledpulling only

.022 is the thinkness of the shoulderon your DV. If you can find a machine shoop they can grind yours down to .022s LC and FCs have no shoulder at all. I have a pic at home of 181s, 131s, LCs, 022s and full cuts ill try and upload it
