I've never ran 5k's but from what I have read some of the 5k kits do not drive well. They are made mainly for competition use, now I'm not saying you can't drive a pump with 5k's on the street I just don't think its what your gonna want.

I would advise to stick with the 4k GSK. I'm running DDPs Comp GSK which is a 5k and I've had to replace my pushrods and camshaft right away. I'm sure as time goes, I'll be replacing more. As for pulling and drag racing, its got a really good top end especially when the second turbo lights up...

Better get valve springs if you run the 4ks and I'm serious find a kit that comes with them if you can I say go with pdrs kit but get what you want just put the damn vavle springs in or kiss the motor goodbye when you take it to 4 and float a valve
