Re:Is this over kill

IMO and experience (limited) the 5" is overkill untill you decide you want a HUGE single charger or twins.

4" will be the sweet spot for your application and 5" will slow your spool up a little.

4 or 5 will be an improvement over stock.

Seriously though, if a MAJOR turbo upgrade is in the works than the 5" will be good. Major being bigger than an HX40 or B1.

Really depends on where you plan on going with your bombs...

I agree, a 5" will actually hurt performance if u are under 500 H.P.

5" is going to hurt performance until 500 H.P. and only help over 550 H.P. this is just a fact of life. I was over 500 when I added the 5" and it was no real help now with the twins I need the 5".
