thats right, most all pulls arround where I'm at are single turbo classes.

Before you make up your mind you should read the rules and see if you can run twins or not.

I would get the 12v. A ppump conversion is not the best for power etc. Drop the complete 12v in your truck and you can get a lot more power out of it.
