you don't need big oil unless you're running a set of 530s or something in that order, plus those stealths are expensive as hell!

thats funny tollen ive never heard of people lifting heads off a early 99 with just adding a turbo,,,,, and like i said im not looking for big power just a little more than what i got, i dont plan on new sticks or hpop, considering i just put a new hpop in last year

you don't have to lift the heads to do anything really, unless you are replacing the gasket thats about it ha, injector cup, injectors, HPOP, springs, pushrods, studs, all that can be done with motor in the truck and heads still intact

you can run around 45 psi on stock head studs, some have re-torqued them and gone up to 50, but if i was to go through that much hassle i'd just put new studs in

I'm not going all out on my truck so I went with Bean's D-66 on my E-99. It whistles like crazy (some love that, some don't care), spools quick, and gives plenty of air for my set-up. I think it was right around the same price.
