I run a stock 15° pump hold 2700-2900 at about 48% in a hot race tune. So a good healthy 17° is even better. Keep in mind my pump is kind of a freak.

Best i can say for that is it's all in the tuneing..
But i dont have pushrods springs or studs and it is holding together good.. But i dont sled pull it everyday. Id say my driveing is aggressive i love gh tunes. I run the truck hard because the tunes run clean so i find myself messing around alot i try to respect other people and not black out intersections lol. Hard to really do except for tunes not by gh or i can get it to smoke in gh all out track tune. But i have a billet s366. i have more air then you will. If you wanted to be a dick you could turn day into night in a hot tune just saying.

No not looking to be a dick or roll coal just looking for some more power great towability and reliability not worried about huge numbers just want to go as big as I can without always worrying about breaking something I've got all the support I need.

I don't wanna run hot and smokey I want a good clean burn and I don't want the turbo to struggle or have to try to keep up.

Ya it went right over my head you had a 38r and bts lol that would be a strong setup forsure and i was not implying on you being a dick or you wanting to roll coal sorry if it seemed that way. No pun intended.

No it dident sound that way just letting you know I only roll on the road if someone rides my ass lol. I thought it would be a good setup just worries me about the pmrs at that point. And I would most likely want to do studs and all at that point that's why I was originally thinking 205/80 so I could feel a little better about the pmrs. And not stud it and all that

If you want a clean and cool running set up, definitely run Gear Head tunes.

I plan on getting one eventually just in case bu money is kind of an issue I've spent the last 4 years putting what's on it in my signature on it but it's almost paid off now so I've been doing a lot more to it.

205/80 or 238/80 isn't going to make a rats azz.... I have 238/80s and a 38r and it's a great DD setup
Never gets hot, tows anything I need, almost drives like stock except twice the power! On PMRs, no studs or springs either. I don't sled pull or anything to crazy with this truck but I don't drive like grandpaw either

I don't plan on sled pulling or doing much racing...... mama I wanna go fast lol. I guess for the same price may as well go 238 and go conservative with the tuning.
