Might be better off with the 130gpm pump and the Kennedy special calibration 4 bolt fan clutch.

Limit boost to 12 psi max and consider an aftercooler and/or water injection triggered by boost switch.

That i am going to do as far as adjusting the wastegate to 12-14 lbs boost, i have looked into the water/mist injection, just dont know much about it? i was also looking into the fluid filled harmonic balancer also, i just put this motor in and want to do as many worthy upgrades as possible, IM NOT TRYING TO BUILD A RACE OR PULLING TRUCK, JUST A GOOD ALL AROUND TRUCK, thanx for any input u might have

The fluidamper is a good longevity upgrade-the drive pulley from GM or Powerbond is also a must since they are similar to the stock balancer for construction and failure,dorman are very poor replacements.

O'Rileys or your local Motorstate vendor carries powerbond.

Do some research on WMI-limit the methanol/alcohol to NO more than %20 in these trucks.
