Nice truck, ive always liked the look of 2wd reg cabs. As far as moding goes, it would probly run better with stock DVs vs those lazer cuts, thats what ive heard atleast. A fuel plate and gsk of some kind would be good, might need to look into a new clutch soon if you start adding fuel. Im not the most knowlegable but im sure others will have some input.
good luck, matt

Looks good...You got a very good deal also..You could run LC but you have to twick the AFC more finer.On the 180 pump the 181 DV would of been prefect.You may need alittle more adjustment to your AFC for the LC...That could be the reason your getting a turbo lag....Are you getting alot of black before it kicks in at 1500 RPM??

Oh boy...You will like being back in the 12V mods...You could turn up your fuel a bit..See where your AFC housing is at (centre or full forward)...Could even check your star screw position...I wonder what plate you have?Got the gauges in yet??Nice little upgrade would be injectors....If you find 215 injectors for dirt cheap,that sure improves the throttle response.I think the stock injectors on a 180 pump is 192.Another upgrade that really gets the truck going is 3k or 4k RPM pump springs.

Thats ok......I have zero knowledge on common rails....We will make it very simple...I guess the first thing to do is check you plate and position..That should be your first upgrade(your call on this one..I have a zero plate on my truck, which you could grind down at home).The 180 pump is a very good pump...I have the 175 pump thats just a bit different on its internals..

Thats right...Also forgot the timing...I have mine set to 15.5 degrees..I installed the SB Con OFE in my truck....I like it...its a very good clutch...This will also depend on what HP your looking to get,you may want a DD clutch if your going for high HP....I'm not sure of the 04 to 96 turbo swap,but someone will chime in to give you details on that one...
