i dont knoq if your really aware of how much twins really cost. figure at least 4 grand for piping and turbos. then you need gauges, head studs, orings, new headgaskets, etc etc it ends up getting quite expensive quite fast. and if your looking for that much power you might just want to get a p pump truck. and in 90% of situations twins arent needed

hes right stock is the way to go unless your really good then you can make some bad *** power and no smoke with awesome mileage. unless you really work with the mods on these trucks and build it for towing they suck at towing

so then your going to want to build lots of torque and not to much HP
get a deep trany and diff pan
clutch
overfill getrag (if your a 5 speed)
have pump turned up internally dont mess with ANY stock external settings FP screw, Afc, Ect...
get a 4in intake and if your non I/C get one stock ones work great
60mm turbo upgrade
4in turbo back exhaust
4.10 gears w/posi in the diff or 3.75 if your 4x4
twin electric fans on adj. thermostats
BHAF


thats a good start
