Poll : What would you pick ?

Got my Con OFE installed last week. Just got my Smarty today
I'm down to the last $500.00 that I saved for truck mods and am
sticking to my limit. I took off my Van Aaken V5 and am selling it to
help finance my last purchase. No matter what ,I am keeping the stock
turbo and still need to tow my #7000 Travel Trailer. So with appx.
$700.00 available, what should I get ?

Mach 1.6 injectors

TST PM3

hard decision, But if you tow with the stock turbo I'd go with the adjustably of the TST.

Sounds like I should go with the TST With all my
mods. I've never had VP44 problems .Fuel pressure never
below 10 psi, even at WOT. Hope my luck holds out when
I tap the wire I must be getting old and slow , got my
Smarty two days ago and still haven't used it yet

My vote would go for a fuel supplier. Something like a FASS or AIR DOG. You could do one with out the filter. What are they like 350 bucks. Then you could pickup a used PM3 for about 350-400 used. The TST combined with the smarty and 275 will pull you stock lp to 0. I could pull it to 5 with just the TST on a brand new LP.

I agree with 95 ram, the tst will suck your stock lift pump dry!!! I love my tst but the fass really helps keep the fuel floing.


P.S. Dont count on staying with the stock turbo very long....

I have basically the same setup as you plus the Tst. I tow alot more than 7000 daily with stock turbo. I run a holley blue and have no problems with fuel pressure. I highly recommend the TST pm3 because of the adjustability. Dave

Whats the highest level on the PM3 that you can
run for short bursts on stock turbo. What are your
highest EGTs when you crank up the PM3 ?
