That will give you a volume number to determine number of lock to lock turns based on size of the valve. Valves usually specify how much volume per turn of the input shaft.

Or (the easy way) you could figure out which cylinder bore/stroke you have and call PSC directly, they'll recommend the right size valve for your application.

You have a pump that will handle the pressure/volume? The Toyota pump probably isn't up to the task.

have you decided single end or double end ram? Single is cheaper, but has some getting used to as turns are 1/2 as many going one way as they are the other.

The ram is double ended. I am almost 98% the stroke is 6". The bore I wanna say is 2.25" but I am not positive and wont know for sure until I get the unit probly. I doubt the toyota pump will be suffecient enough but I have searched that you can get inside the pump and change a thing or two for it to pump more psi.

I am not sure if I have done my math right if all the above numbers are correct.
