I would go with a big one, I did and am glad I did it the first time around, rather than having to redo it later. Check out Frozen Boost (google them, non sponsor), they have some good sized h/e's for great prices.

hey thanks for the heads up on the Heat exchangers, going to get a Tune from nelson or wheatley. I like the idea that they have an address and phone number....................

ps I'm working on a truck that has a side mount, My buddy has a call into nelson, seems the tune is locked on the maggie side mount

He wants to buy an ECU and keep the carb ECU(that came with the truck and it's side mount)

says it makes good power but He's got 4:10's and new staggered tires
that He wants to make ABS corrections for, I can't get a straight answer from anyone I've called

If you are going to look into tuning software I would suggest HPTuners or EFILive.

Dont bother with the big heat exchanger, it wont do you any good except for recovery times, but who really cares about that.

OK the little radix kit is on the way, with the little heat exchanger!

I'm going to tear it down and wait on Brown (aka ups)

my truck is a one legger with 3.42 as best I can tell, I gotta go check the
RPO label in the glove. seems I checked the day I bought to see if it was
G80 equipped and I'm sure it's not

My bro is up my a$$ about getting 4:10 or 4:56 gears and a locker
I don't drag race and I'm actually quite happy with the trucks current and predictable whip-a-bility factor

I never had a locker with 4:56 gears ............... I'm scared and use to a peg leg-R-
