So, it's entirely possible (probable, even) to have more power at the beginning of a 30-minute desert blast than at the end, simply due to the IC heatsoaking, and not being as effective in cooling the air charge as it was at the beginning of the run.So, being honest with yourself, do you think that you'll drive the truck hard enough, long enough, often enough, to justify the IC upgrade? If so, great... if not, then perhaps that money could be better spent elsewhere... otherwise, I'd say upgrade the IC when you upgrade the turbos...</blockquote>
