Thanks a bunch for the chit chat and ideas guys, really appreciate all opinions.
Doing some more reading and was wondering if the bosch 190s might be the way to go? If they are the tits as far as efficiency goes?
Also looking at the 3800rpm spring on your Site RC, is that a bad idea for street/DD? Is it just a matter of running the right valve springs? Are there other things to consider reliability wise if I were to use that spring?
Reason I ask is because my train of thought is that if I were to widen my rev range out a lot more, I can build the truck to make power just at the top right? Like, big turbo, lots of advance, doesn't boost until higher up in the rev range, but has a nice big, free flowing exhaust housing (great for fuel economy?). That way I'd get good fuel economy when I'm puttering around empty or just hauling in the bed, but when I'm towing and need to get a load up to highway speed I can just hold a gear and reviews it out to get into the meat up top.
I dunno, just thinking out loud, feel free to shoot my idea full of holes.
