The 4k will do alot for dyno numbers, Allowing the truck to access more power through out the RPM range. You may have to adjust the gov. arm after you install your GSK kit!
It's got alot to do with tuning. Mitchum Evans is pretty close to you IIRC (cedar city diesel).
Give us a detailed explanation of the truck and it's current tuning and I'm sure you'll get plenty of opinions!

Let us know if we can help in anyway!

Of course.

You cant just buy a bunch of parts, add up the numbers they are supposed to produce and expect to see that on a dyno. That just doesnt happen in the real world. Dynos are all different and there are many, many variables that affect the final numbers.

so when putting the 4kgsk in do you not have to change the intake valve springs or do you?just wondering cuz everyone always says they just do the exhaust valve springs and never the intake

They'll both float , Intake and exhaust. You need both if you ask me. We always recomend that customers install both for peace of mind!

Personally, i feel both sets are equally important above 3600 RPM.
Maybe because pac-brake sells a kit with just 6 springs they opt to go that way.
Now i know that for instance with an exhaust brake the exhaust springs are the one that need to be changed and intake isnt as important in such situation.

For the extra few dollars you would think it wouldnt be somthing to cut corners on?
