The truck pulls often, will probably never see a drag strip, will never see a sled. I would like to be able to put smarty on #9 and not worry about frying stuff.
I could put a larger turbo on in the far-out future, but not to the extent of needing head work, ect.

I can't seem to find it on their website at the moment, but they do have one. It's what I run in my truck, and after being the guinea pig - my idea, it's what John at Floor It is using for customers.
