I think the extra speed would be nice in case you ever needed it. When I get my Volvo together I'll be putting my Novak Goat system in it, plenty of low end but good on top end too. Never know when you'll need some wheel speed for mud, cleaning tires etc etc.
If you adjust the EPA then when the truck is under a load such as pulling a heavy trailer or going up hill you wont be able to send enough power to the motor to maintain speed.


This is simple guys, for those of you who drive a vehical you don't drive it foot to the floor but you do give it more throtle to go up a hill so the throtle stick on your radio works just like the pedal in your car. If all else fails put in a gear reduction and put the hammer down

Truckpuller motor=high turn motor it is just a fancy name

Higher turn=lower rpm=more power
Lower turn=higher rpm=less power
