i will never understand why people ask this question......

Put the kit on your truck the way it comes and pulley down once you verify what your boost level is. You should never just go for the smallest, the line "stock engine without breaking or blowing anything?" cracks me up every time.

before you even try a smaller pulley get someon ewho can tube your truck.

on a sq trim vortech and 6.0 a 3.1 will get you 9-10 psi.as much as i would put on a relatively stock 6.0l.

This reminds me of that Seinfeld episode when Elaine used the exclamation point excessively. I understand that you're excited, but I don't think it's necessary to end every sentence with one.


You could easily blow the motor, tranny, and rearend, while running the stock pulley. Get it running perfectly on the stock pulley, then start looking for more. My tranny only lasted 2 weeks with a whipple at 6 psi. The motor is only as reliable as the tune allows it to be. Push the limits and you'll be paying for it.
