So have you sprayed the truck with the 20 jet? If so what did you get on a/f? If you haven't sprayed the truck yet then i would suggest not going with that low of a jet until you see what your truck likes (progressively drop jets by 2s, try 28, then 26 etc..). Also what kind of pump are you running and what all safety equipment do you have?

Start off with the recommended jet and work your way down from there. Don't go off the a/f gauge, go off the plugs.

Twotonefreak is absolutely correct, the plugs will tell all. I don't use an a/f gauge. They are a good tool for tuning but they can't tell you which cylinder is the leanest since they take a cumulative average. If you talk to some of the heavy hitters spraying over 300 they will tell you every motor reacts differently, some like to be a little richer and some don't.

I know I'm spraying more but since you asked for jet sizing we're using. I run a 72N and 33F.

You can start with using the gauge till you are close then fine tune with reading the plugs.

i have sprayed the truck on the 50 shot twice just to make sure the kit was functioning properly. i havent sprayed it with the 100 shot yet. for safety equip, i have a bottle heater, and microedge controller. just getting a ballpark, cause i need to get some jets. i didnt want to buy a bunch if i didnt need to.
