depends on what you want to do with it,or are expecting out of it. if you are looking for all out speed,by all means go for it. just remember some basic things. if your tranny doesn't already have the stronger gears for the vxl and such,be prepared to replace parts soon. also,plan on stiffer springs for your shocks as the extra power will add squat,which means less steering/more bite. and most of all,definitely learn to make changes to your driving style. your truck will look cool as hell streaking past you at a high-rate of speed,but,when you inadvertantly run in to things,now you break parts alot easier. keep all these things in mind when thinking about dropping that kind of coin,just because you think your truck just has to go faster.
