So the ProStreet 66 would be better for occasional towing?
So here's what I'm thinking...
ARP studs--- a must (500)
Either SPS 6280 OR ProStreet 66 (1500 give or take)
Glacier 392 (400)
Flux 2 (1200 ?)
Modded CP3 (1100)if there is any money left
Is this combined with BDDL CL be ok for a daily driver and still be able to tow? Comments on which turbo? Future mod: TST to stack
Thanks Dan

If you really feel the need for a 66, I would go with a II silver bullet. But to be honest I find my silver 62 everything that I need, and it works good with towing
IMO the tst is way over rated, too many things to adjust, and if you dont have a dyno,, it is expensive, and as is being seen now more and more everyday, there is big power to be made without it.
When it comes to sticks, do you want to have better fuel economy>? Or do you want to build a race machine? With my 50's I have actually noticed a good increase in economy (I havent hand calculated it yet, but I know that I used considerably less fuel on my last trip to Edmonton, which is 4 hours away.

Yah, I think I'm leaning toward a 62 vs 66. As far as sticks, I'd like to keep my mileage, currently running CL and getting 19.5 hand calculated Hwy. I'm not planning going bigger than my 33's. I may take this to the track a few times a year, so I don't want an uncontrollable racer, but a daily driver that will smoke most things on the street....
I'd love to get the Scary Larry IF anyone can find who has it and if it works on the 06???????

No problem,, anything I can do to help
Tristan, my truck right now will smoke as much as I want it too,, if I turn the boxes up, and want to play, it is wild, but if I just take it easy it is pretty good

My smarty does that, I wish I would have took a pic of the tools after 750 miles in the bed with my single 6" stack and the smarty on 2/ juice on 5. I unloaded tools and looked like a was a coal miner with "black lung".

Flexplate better be on the list.If you only have 4500,id keep the hp in the safer area of 550 or so.You need a reliable truck,since you'll be broke after the mods.....wont be able to afford a motor/head gasket job,blown turbo or or t case.Remember you wanna play ,you gotta pay.Be ready for stuff to break at 650+RWHP.

Yup, got the billet ATS flexplate coming with my Georend. I'm doing ARPs, don't really know if I need fire rings? From what I heard at 6 ish, you really don't need it.
