With the gov. spring mine pulls hard to about 2900rpms. Probably gonna put my 16cm back on to see how it pulls but I don't regret it at all. If you have stock injectors I would do it.

If your truck is set up like it reads in your signature there are no cons. Pros are lower EGT and much quicker spoolup.
