I got rid of my 96's when I was making 900+ to the wheels and went to
165's. You will get a bunch of different opinions on this. There's alot of things that come into play.

Thanks guys. For now, it looks like they will serve me but I haven't committed to a turbo yet. Got it all except turbo and fuel system.
