How wild of a car are we talking about? The stock unit can handle quite a bit before you need to upgrade it...

You are right but a Racetronix or Wahlbro is cheaper anyway so if your stocker does crap out why not go ahead and upgrade????

thanks for the info, guys. the specs parks asked about are:

it is gonna be a dd, as far as he knows its a stock 346ci (bought car wrecked) dont know specs on the cam, but it does hit hard, it has a Fast intake with a Fast 78mm throttle body that has been ported, it has Kooks headers, and about a 4000 converter (guestimate). i dont know if it has a tune in it or not.

he's doing a V6 swap.... V8 internals into a V6 cab.

another question:

which gas tank to use? metal or plastic?
