Normally between 50 and 85 RWHP gain and still tow.... You can go larger but you will be watching you pyro.

Auto: 50hp Stick: 85hp sticks and still tow. If you don't tow maybe 1 next step up.

I have a VA and 50hp sticks w/auto and turnbuckle and I tow ~7k regularly with no EGT issues. If I lug it up a steep hill it may climb a bit too high, but easy to control. Remember the auto has a tiny turbo. Waiting for my buds with sticks to upgrade so I can get their HX on the cheap
