Depends on which plate you choose, as well as other mods. Check out TST's site, or give them a call. There is a chart that will tell you what you should expect.
Don't forget to get guages and tranny upgrades!

on our trucks, the exhaust doesnt really add any performence, mainly just helps it breath and keep egt's cooler. Have u thought about grinding ur stock plate to a #10 for free? That way with the money u save u could spend the $100 on a 3gsk kit, and the other $100 or so could go towards a set of gauges. My clutch is almost a stock clutch, and it holds a 100 plate really well, but its more how u drive than what plate u get in our smaller pumps for how long ur clutch will last before a nice upgrade.

grind your own plate and get a 4kgsk. youll never look back. dont forget at least a boost and egt gauge. fill out your sig too so we can see if its an auto or manual.

you might be better off with a 3kgsk with a 5 speed b/c the pedal is touchy with the 4k and a clutch. puredieselpower has the gsk for around 100 bucks but definately grind your own plate.
