Default 12v build questions and advice

ok so im looking at a 95 single cab 2wd auto and i think i know what i want to do as far as power goes but would like some opinions on it. looking for 600 to 700 (would be happy with more)
-injectors 5x16's
-5k gsk (new valve springs of course)
-turbos bd super b (s300 may be to small) over a hx60w
-no fuel plate or a 0 plate
-play with the afc?
-mac rack plug
-18 to 22* of timing
-181 dv's
-20 over marine gasket
-fire rings
-studs
-airdog
any thing else you guys can think of been doing some research and have called some people the tranny will be taken care of and ill put caltracs and remove some springs in the rear. hoping for 11's
any help would be appricated
-Cliff

You might need to do a few more pump mods.

if your planning on spinning 5K you need to get the crank zero-balanced, and probably a fluidampr

i have a fluid dampener off the 01 and a spearco intercooler forgot to mention that fact. nad i dont plan on going to 5k (not saying i wont...) but i hear the 5k kit allows the engine to accelerate faster in the rpms

from what i heard you dont gain much out of the thick marine gasket i would just oring it and use a stock one. the guy i talked to said that the stocker held up a little better to.

with those injectors i would probably get laser cut delivery valves. the 181s are to small.

I'd start with 191's, then go from there... Laser cuts flow an AWFUL lot of fuel.

As far as gaskets go, if you're not gonna street the truck throw in a Copper gasket... If you'll be running on the street, use a stocker.

I would go with 191s as well.

As for pump mods turning the barrels for more rack travel.

ive talked to a few guys and looked at a few setups (like turbomatt1 on compD) and he uses his stock 160 pump dv's makes 660 hp and drive the truck every day. he also runs an 11.4. ive also read that laser cuts arnt nessicary unless you have some giggle juice. i want to keep it daily driveable. that and i have some 181's off a 215 pump alredy sooo free upgrade =D and the thicker gasket would be to lower compression just a smidge ive priced everyhitng out and with the stuff i already have i think i could do this for 2k or less hehe would love a low 11 sec truck for under 10k on everything

For street LCs are not the way to go 191s or maybe .022s
