Is it a 62/14, 64/14 or 66/14?

If it is an actual silver bullet, it is a 66mm charger, Industrial calls their 62 a silver 62 and the 64 a silver 64. I know some guys that have run the 66's and they say that they have a tendency to be a little surgy on the street, and aren't a great towing turbo, but work well for drag racing. 1 was actually set up really similar to yours only an Auto. If you're trying to street drive it and care about drivability, I'd stick with a 64mm charger.

Lucas from L&N has a 66 turbo on his 01 with Mach 8+++ injectors and his truck isnt very streetable. Once it spools its gone but it takes alot to spool it.

the 62/14 will have some lag compared to the stock HX or HY that you are running, but when it spools up it will run like a raped ape

what are you mainly using the truck for?

just got back from a road trip towing a 16' long 102" wide 7' tall enclosed trailer thats flat on the front from redding to La and back with my 62/14 the thing did great. Could flat tow in od and keep the temps down and went over the hills with no issues at 68mph thats where I had my cruise set at. The mileage was not great but that had to do with my injectors and the fact that my trailer has no bubble or wedge up front it's flat wish it was a goose neck. I get about 2-3 mpg better towing the longer heavier horse trailer. Worst mileage was on way down with high winds most of the way 10.2. Best was 12.85 winds were blowing both ways due to the storms etc. But a lot less on sat on the way home. Left tuesday mid afternoon with high winds. difference between the winds was 14psi almost whole way down minus hills and home was 6-8psi at same speed.
