Need opinion on combo and its situation use

What can I expect to see on my guages(boost/pyro, and possibly tranny?) with a combo of PODS, 3200 Gspring, AFC stock fuel pin at max fuel position, maybe 1/2 to 3/4 turn on full power screw, propane, and HY35 9cm turbo? This truck(not the one shown in my sig) will never, never, and I mean never, tow. It's main purpose in my life will be to drive 13 hours back and forth to Utah once a year to hunt and local, in town, mountain use. I have never used PODS, and am curious to my results with the above mentioned mix.

Forgot to add more to my advise seeking. After you've shared your suggestions, how would I do with my stock HIC pulled off of this truck and a 16cm housing put in in place of the stocker 18 housing with the above mix of goodies? Better than the HY, or not going to make a difference? Thanks for everything and your patience in advance.

Never been a fan of propane.


That hy35 (9cm housing) is too small.


You'd be better off going for a stage 3 or 4 HTT upgrade on your stock turbo. You'll like it way better than that itty bitty huffer.

I'm with mark, that 9cm hosing is to small and will cause you vary high egts!
go atleast with the 16cm housing and if you can afford it, the stage 4 compressor as well from HTT!

Shouldn't be too bad if you don't crank the pump up much, but it's gonna fall on its nose at 2500 RPM with that turbo. I would use the H1C/16 combo instead, especially if it's an auto. It'll be driveable for your use either way.
