i have heard that the second gens work well with the .84 i think my last number may be off ...any way they do well if your not ppumped ...i believe we can also run the .93 with out ppumps bigger than that they kinda suck ...also i have heard (rumor..no facts ) that the auto trannies tend to die at idle ...not a problem for me or you though. mho i would get the mild steel...unless cash flows easily for you then spend the extra and get stainless....i guess it depends on how hard your gonna push the truck

i put on .078s. in the summer time, A/C on when you go to push in the clutch to downshift, it sounds like it might die. it never has, but it has that stumble.

your's is a HO, so it will handle it a little better than my SO.

but go with the mild steel lines, the stainless ones fatigue rather quickly and crack.

I agree there. If you decide to do a monster pump or ppump then its a good idea... I don't think your pushing enough fuel as of yet.

Im with the two above... Dont waste the money! You only have 150hp sticks.... You aren't flowing THAT much more fuel to require lines yet.

What makes you think you need bigger lines?
