You guys are right, I forgot it was a 160 pump, the 10 plate would be ok.
water, or water/meth is 100% daily drivable....I don t know where you guys have been but the reason a 8 gallon cell is an option is for towing.....I deal with extreme temps though....its 134 today in death valley, that 2 degrees shy of the WORLD RECORD any where on the planet. When Im pulling baker grade a long 6% er with a 25k lb gross @ 65-70 mph.....straight water injection is a good thing.
For running empty around town.....50/50 water and meth and enjoy the extra 75-100 hp ......and 150 ft lbs... If your injecting so much that hydraulic locking the engine is a worry......then its way way way way to much.

I guess the ticket is you have to know how much H2O is too much.. You have to have the mods to need the water first off. Its not a mod for the first couple of steps.
And with temps in the 134°F range, man I would be a salty spot on the pavement.. I can't handle anything over 100°F...

propane is just more fuel being thrown in the cylinders. IMO you can get just as much fuel with injector upgrades with out the additional fuel cell and necessary fill-ups. Just my .02. TG

Didnt read all the previous posts, but if you want your tranny to hold up, but still have a decent running truck I would do this.
Gauges
Intake*
Exhaust*
Transgo shift kit
3k Governor spring kit
Stock plate full forward, or an aftermarket of your choice centered
That is what i reccomedn in that order
* means isnt necesary but will help EGT's.
I also have the transgo shift kit, and it made a world of difference. If you dont want to spend a bunch on your tranny yet, buy one on Ebay for $59, anbd it will make a tremendous difference. Also change your fluid and filter whether you do a valve body/shift kit or not.
