That will def wake the truck up! But you might wanna look into an aftermarket lift pump before you throw more fuel to it to keep the VP happy and alive!

doesn't the xzt already have a boost fooler? If not just get a edge comp, or juice with attitude if you don't have gauges yet. and as mentioned above a lift pump should be in there yesterday I would imagine with those injectors your prolly pretty low on fuel pressure.

get an edge comp box, they're not that expensive and have a way better reputation than quadzilla does
