first timer here.....do I need a 16cm housing or 14? I occasionally pull a dump trailor and haul shingles frequently and would like a little more throttle response especially in 3rd gear. Also what air intake would you guys suggest? Injectors? I would like the truck as hot as possible w/o a huge risk of tearin' it up.

Welcome to the site and enjoy. Do yourself and us a favor and fill out your signature so that we all know what your working on. I would go strait for a wastegated 12cm housing for the 5 speeds. That will help it spool up faster and should feel allot peppier. Take a look at the "stick" at the top of the page there is allot of great and free tricks you can do to get some more get up and go out of your truck.

Hope this helps some and welcome to our sickness.

from what I hear it is not good to tow with a 14. I had a 16 and towed with mine some. Get a pryo gauge if you are gonna do some mods especially if you are gonna haul with it. If all you did to it was add a 16 and the rest is at stock setings then you should be ok.
