Nope no lift pump upgrade, and it's a automatic, how much is a lift pump upgrade on it? What's the hp of stock injectors in the truck? Is it worth buying 75 hp sticks or should I upgrade some stuff first and wait and get like 150s later?

Do the lift pump upgrade first. Raptor replacement is under $300 and will support 400HP

First get a Air dog 150 ($500) then get your tranny built ($5000) and then go buy your self some 200hp sticks if you want to smoke a lot, and then after you blow your stock turbo and myabe your head gasket you can upgrade them

I never could understand why someone would want to build a smoky beast then a few months later whine about smoke tickets, lack of fuel mileage and poor performance.

Yes there is 200 HP stick out there. Yes they will physically fit the engine. But might not perform properly without supporting modifications. Truthfully if you building for HP and have excessive smoke you just wasting the fuel and not creating efficient power. True efficient power will have a small black cloud at launch, then haze all the way to max speed.
