The Fastman ones seems to be a very popular mod. I haven't heard many people talk about the Hughes one.

I'm sure they probably perform pretty much the same, so price becomes the deciding factor, and the Fastman wins that easy.

+1 for what Silver said.

Even if the Hughes one is slightly better, its not worth the price difference. And I highly doubt its any better.

I'm pretty certain the general consensus on this site will be the fastman. It's a little more "tried and true" from what I can tell. I was planning on it for mine, but the mod bug really left me when gas prices soared and I haven't had it come back yet.

Without knowing what your truck has in it i'm going to assume its pretty much stock. with that being said i would not go with the hughes engines stage 3 because its 55mm. thats too much for a stock motor. if your running a 5.2 i'd go with 50mm and if your running a 5.9 i'd go with a 52mm.
