governor spring kit, its springs inside the pump that control how where it will govern the rpms, it does it with centrifugal force, basically the stiffer they are the higher it will rev to a certain point, stock starts to defuel at about 2200 you can buy 3gsk, 4gsk, 4.5gsk, 5gsk and i beleive now a 6gsk

IIRC ,3k is the biggest you can go w/o valve float and have to change your valve springs also

Correct me is thats not right .....

Ohh yea they will. ive taken mine to 3800. yes it was stupid but i just did the GSK so i wanted to try it. it felt like it would keep goin but i didnt wanna risk anything more than i had already. it makes all the difference in how the truck drives i love it.

4K GSK and only going to 3000-3300 is fine just make sure that if anyone else drives it dont let em past 3K.
