Whoa there fella , we need more info

Ok I'm assuming this truck is a bone stock blown Gibbs truck. ?

Before you go puting a smaller pulley on you need to make sure your fuel system ( injectors / pump) are up to the task . I'm not sure what injectors are on your truck , prob. 42# but I'm not sure.

Your gonna need retuned for the added boost and you'll want to monitor AFR and fuel psi as well .

Many many stock long blocks can handle up to 20+ psi boost. , when fuel and tune are right on , so you can throw the smallest pulley on that 112 they make and be fine as long as above requirements are met

In the world of forced induction , a boost gauge , wideband AFR gauge and fuel psi gauge are mandatory.

Btw I ran 12 psi on my setup without meth , but I wouldn't go more than that .

U take it easy! Lol.
I realize how addictive thus is! I'm not looking to go crazy for now ! Umm fuel system is stock! I just wanna go with a smaller pulley and a tune from a local tuner! Ill need to pick up a fuel pressure gauge I guess!

I'm willing to bet the Gibbs truck has the fuel pump that the Radix kit came with. Truth be told I don't remember what that was... I know it was smaller than a 255 though.

A 255 and 60# injectors will go a long way with this build though.

Yup that sounds right. That fuel pump will give you a little room to grow, but nothing too major.

Why only 90 octane gas? Texas is flush with 93 even in the smallest of towns.
