Default Liven this forum up... future plans for your truck?

This place is dead, which sucks because the guys on here are alot cooler and nicer than any other forums. So instead of a "I have a problem" thread, I'm starting a positive one by asking what ya'll are planning or have coming in the near future.

I got a set of +2 Maxxlinks on the way, Vulcan 1/2" line kit from canister to vp, and I'm gonna take off my trim (it's already removing itself) and factory badges and replace with some 4x4" C-Power badges that i threw in on that order for a sweet $9. Also got new tcc/od solenoids coming in, not looking forward to that as much but thanks turbo20psi for hookin me up with the website

I've decided I will continue running without a programmer, hopefully some tranny upgrades will follow soon... trying not to dream too big here.

A vgt swap is in the near future if I could ever get a good HE351VE with low miles for a decent price. Already have the manifold just need the turbo and Fleece controller.

2in leveling kit, hid projectors, different tuner, dual exhaust, and someday down the road a nv4500 or 5600 swap!

I got big dreams......... 7x.014 injectors or bigger, new monster pump, Blue chip redline programmer, silver bullet 66........not positive, 181/210 cam, fly cut pistons, probably a good sized set of lines and tubes, port and polished head, stainless manifold. Oh and a triple disk clutch to put it all to the ground..........don't ask me a brand right now, haven't decided.

I figure with all this stuff with equate to around 850hp or better all from a VP....... Probably going to start conversation but I think 1000+hp from a vp is totally achievable with a good set up and tuning.

Non wastegated turbo from a series 60 detroit or 12.5 deere loader to compound with the stock turbo, 125-150 sticks, street dual disk, studs, upgraded hydros, billet input, little bigger and meatier tires, possibly pulling the rear blocks to drop the guy down a bit, traction bars, possibly p pump, and lastly a much needed paint job.

Redo compound turbo set up:
-Build an HX35/40 Hybrid with 16cm non-gated exh housing
-Add external wastegate system
-New piping will be in order, so build and paint it

Install aux cooler for transmission.

Swap 65hp nozzles for 150's, head studs, 110# valve springs, and paint the valve cover while its off.

Wire in new HID driving lights. Going to use a sport style headlight control module to control the HID's.

Install 2 more gauges, 100psi boost and fuel pressure.


I have all the parts in the garage, now just need to find some time to do it all.

Wash it.












Oh and maybe some new control arms, sway bar end links, pyro mounted in the cubby hole, transfer all my tools, tank and box to my Ford so it'll be my "nice" truck again and a new damn seat.
