Are you using the ProCharger truck system that uses the same belt for the ProCharger as the accessories? Bob

Cool, the F-1A would be what I would go with. Your stock head deck thickness would be your limiting factor to max out the F-1A, you'll want to keep it under 16 psi, but you shouldn't have to run more than 12 psi to meet your current goals. Bob
