Also thinking of getting the 6" MBRP mitre cut stacks, they look awesome and saw a 1st gen with 6" dual stacks and looked awesome plus im pretty much the only 1st cummins in vero.

Also about to build some custom bumpers front/rear once I get the steel together, and about to get new shocks, order new lower ball joints and try and find out what some new coil spring for front would cost and find replacement rear springs(seem to sag pretty easy when loaded) and new bushing for top/bottom a-arms and already bought new carrier bearing.

Picking up some nice 16x9 rims by this weekend, coming off a 89 Cummins.

And probley going to start body work tommrow or friday and get her ready to be painted orange/hemi orange.

man; i wish i had that kinda money when i was 16(granted it was only 3 years ago)... what exactly do you do, and do they need some help? hell today i cut a hole in my air box right behind the headlight looked at my mom and said "performance on a budget" and has anyone explained the magic of the star wheel? turn in clockwise a turn and a half and get the proper adjustment on the TV cable i'm pretty sure the truck wont dog as much on the take off (due to more fuel and proper adjustment of the TV): but you guys were talking about different turbine/ compressor housings. if i were to run a 14cm with a 60mm compressor what kinda boost would that be pushing? i may be in the same boat and just want to save my money and get a better turbo straight up; if i go with the s300 (as it seems to be very popular for a good reason) do i need to change my exh manifold? i was planning on bolting the pulse manifold on it anyways with the turbo mods

also: props man... you've started early and are obviously someone with some brains. you've been reading for sure. which is very good; you read before you speak and if there are any grey areas your still humble enough to ask so never let that change. if it does change most people will just start thinking your arrogant and pompus; never a good thing when your talkin with most diesel guys... we're a very tight group and RSWORD aka bobby shows that first hand. so good luck and i'll be following this thread closely; you've got some great ideas and questions. i've been pickin up an idea or two and working on a shopping list

P.S- stacks are nice and goin into a set of 6" would be pretty sweet; but don't hack up that beautiful exhaust man... it sounds amazing as is. it's your truck so do what you please either way you go it'll just keep gettin better

Well I have 2 jobs, kinda 3. One is cutting lawns when I can, $20-$30 a lawn, second is working at a place called Indian river estates where I am a dish washer/food prep(put in 40-58 hours a week), and this place is hudge, I work on the west side(its so big that's how they tell most people to go, east or west) and the kinda 3rd one is, hauling a pallet of 60lb bag's of salt for my dad to a place called quail valley for their water softener, this is a golf course that cost's $256,000 to join!!! and every time I haul a load out their he gives me money for a full tank of diesel.

So I bust my *** to get whatt I have, NOTHING's free.

But thanks, and yes I have been told about the star wheels, smoke screw and full power screw.
