She has her "expensive" hobbies also, so luckily we are mutual with our spending.

Whats your goal for the truck? Drag racing? Sled Pulling? #2 only, Nitrous? If you tow even a little I would go with twins. I am really liking the s300 and
s400 setups several companies have these kits available.

That all depends on how long you have been married:

1-3 years - You better skip the turbo and spend the cash on her you lucky SOB.

4-10 years - Phat Shaft 64. She will appreciate you didn't go nuts, and you can still get her something nice.

11-25 years - Silver Bullet. She already knows how you are...

26+ years - Twins - if she stuck with you that long, this shouldn't surprise her at all!

Well twins the s300 and s400 will for sure work for you spool similar to stock and will keep things cool good for 750 on #2. BD now has the R700 kit available which is the s300 and s400 combos. Nathan at MPI can im sure fab you something up for probably a little cheaper and be just as nice or better. Source automotive also has a kit available for this compound setup I believe.

Sorry, I couldn't resist! I am interested in this thread as I am wanting to do some mods myself, so I have been watching the turbo, injector, fuel system threads a lot lately. Please let us know what you get and how it performs. I think I am heading down that path soon.
