03 smarty tst stack question

A buddy of mine has an 03 ho stock turbo and 50 horse injectors an fass pump. He just got a smarty and a tst so what should he run them on for every day driving and for most performance?

I can't help w/ the TST, but I bet it will be HOT w/ the stock huffer. Should run good if he has the upgraded pumps needed for that stack/sticks.

Let see stock turbo... I would say if he's smart, Smarty maybe 5 and TST 2/2 max. Now if he's not smart... (Like me) When I had my 03 ho I ran my Smarty on 8 and my TST on 4/3. Of course it wasn't to long after that that I bought those new pistons. Oh yea the new head came shortly after that. Oops I almost forgot I did get the new Silver 62 turbo after I melted the stock turbo. After that the truck was built proof well I did break the gears in my NV5600 trans a couple of times and smoked the stock clutch and the South Bend FE. The Valair 3600 DD is holding up great now. But that was only a few grand so that doesn't count... right.
That's a real powerful stack he will break his truck unless he is willing to spend some real coin.
Good luck,
Topper

I would keep TST off until he gets a better turbo. The Smarty will still over-power his truck w/o the TST.

Tell ya what, tcr has it right. A stg3 w/a 62 or 64 would be great but he will need some serious trans/clutch work to hold it.
A stocker wont live long behind that stack.
