O and Hamilton 110 springs

 

What about fuel?

OIL 15w40 of your preference
TUNER I would drive it like I would if it had 100k on it that's just me
RWHP don't have a clue

 

Fuel? For now I have a Holley black and arson 4 with 120 HP nozzles.any addatives for oil?

 

Of I was going to put that kinda money into my truck I would defiantly be putting in an air dog or fass or a raptor pump. I have a Holley black and I don't see it supporting the mods you have now. I might be wrong but I know with my setup I pull it down low.

I wouldn't add any additives just run the oil you plan on running from now on.

 

Defanantly an airdog in the very near future and tranny still stock .what oil do u recomend,rotela?

 

I run rotella but this is opening a can of worms about oil. Now there is a guy on here with a stock truck with 700k on it and still running strong all he had run is rotella roadmedic is his name. But I guess any 15w40 is better than none.

 

I have personally seen rod bearings out of a truck with 325k that looked new all she ran was delo 400 from first oil change.

Run what you want is what I say I won't knock anyone who takes care of there truck

 

Ive had good luck in my hotrods with it.and leave the tuner off for break in,and how many miles should it take

 

I don't know what break in would be. Every motor I built I drove it from start like I was going to drive it it's whole life and have had good luck that way. Hopefully someone will chime in on more info for break in

 

If you have a stock tranny you have no hope running tnt-r yet alone a silver 66 or 120's. You need to get that built asap and also be running a airdog. Also look into fuel pressure and rail pressure gauges
