Message: [QUOTE="Charles, post: 1314495, member: 103"] My crew cab has stock everything except a dirty open air filter, 4" downpipe and a drop in 38r with a 1.15 housing only because the stock charger surged so bad. At say 375 hp a 200 will be cleaner and cooler. The truck will probably make power over a broader range as well. When's the last time you saw somebody running a 30% eh pulling a loaded trailer uphill in OD at 1600 rpm with no smoke? When's the last time you saw a 30% eh pulling a loaded trailer uphill at 1600 rpm with smoke for that matter? The burn efficiency just isn't there. The power's not there even if you didn't care what the egt or smoke was. On Edit: I forgot to address your analogy. For your above 30A service, lets say the pull is 500 feet long. A 30% nozzle would be akin to running a 10ga wire because a 10ga wire is rated for a 30A load in the NEC. I'm the guy telling you that if you run an 8ga wire on that pull, even though the 10-3 can do the job, the 8-3 will have far less voltage drop, run all your loads more efficiently and run cooler while doing both. A 200 is far from overkill. You don't get the same performance, you get much better performance and efficiency at a point between 2 and 300rwhp depending on usage. The heavier you load the engine up, the less attractive the smaller nozzle becomes. [/QUOTE]
