so if you run 60 to 100hp injectors with a 12cm housing that seems that a pretty solid set up. but im 17 and i could be wrong

mine was laggy too but i had 3.55 gears... if i had 4.10's it would scream... I've built mine pretty much just for towing.. here's a starter list for you.. i know u want power but u need these first and it will be a respectable tow rig.. lift pump, head studs, intake, intake horn, exhaust(with down pipe) exhaust manifold(3 piece), heavy duty clutch.. love the south bend, mag-hytech pans, synthetic oils, then maybe a turbo, injectors.. give us a price range and we can narrow it down better.... ooooohhhhh and gauges!!!!!

Sb intake and an exhaust. Edge juice w add has gauges, you need a lift pump, airdog100 will work great for you. If you still want more go with some 90 hp injectors. Save for a dd clutch and a turbo, you'll have a very reliable cool running truck with plenty of power on the street

the intake horn is a waste of time on these money is better spent elsewhere

i thought it would be handy for water/meth and or propane down the road with the pre-drilled holes... plus boost gauge... and it looks cool... my list was in no specific order... if he would give us a price limit we could make a lil more specific list..
