Im Getting Twins?

Ok, heres the deal, im almost done with my crew cab conversion and have lately been trying to figure out my plans for the power for the beast. First i got an hx35 to replace the H1C, then i found a good deal on a PDR HX40, so i got that. Now im not so sure.

Back ground on the truck: Performance mods (will) include pods, AFE filter, ported manifolds, and all the basic pump mods. Truck is heavy with the crew cab, heavy duty frame, big bumpers, ect. 3.55 gears and 38 in tires.

I know the 40 will be good the my level of fueling but i am concerned that it will spool pretty slow being that my truck is heavy and geared very tall (3.55 and 38 tires). So i think i want to do something that will spool it faster. I have a hy35, so why not make twins with it?

I know a 35 is less than i deal for twins, and a 40 really isn't that big for a bottom charger. How do you guys think this will work. IMO it should spool very fast and have a decent top end. Im thinking i might need to add an exteranal wg to the 35.

My options are twins with the 35 and 40, or just the 40, as my budget is very limited. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Mike
