Only thing I would suggest is a little tighter exhaust housing to spool it faster. 13 stainless would probably do very well. Might get away with a 66 compressor that way too.

If you had a manual trans you could get by with the 14 but having an auto id stick with a 12 or 13.

With 200's and a single it will get very hot on WOT or long climbs. I'd elect for a set of twins or step the sticks down a bit.

I run my HX35 with 150's and I would not advise it.

When I stand on my skinny pedal and the smarty on 5 the EGT's climb really fast to 1300 F. I can settle them down at about 1150 but still that's hot for just driving around.

I've got EDGE jammers in my truck.

An HX35 and 150's with the Comp should be getting hot. I can make mine get hot with stock injectors and an Adrenaline.
