what upgrades to take care of first
OK so i finally put together what i would like to do to the truck and i was wondering two things...opinion on brands and what do i buy first?? i know i need to get my l/p and gauges taken care of but after that lol.(my poor a$$ has to buy this stuff one at a time...Ive been thinkin to much about all this and my mind is all
Injectors 75-80 hp
AFE Pro guard stage II intake kit--is it worth the 500.00????
edge juice w/ attitude
4 or down pipe
fass 150 l/p
stacks 4" is ok i think...from what Ive read 5" doesnt make a diff.?
some kind of trans set up for all this...not sure what yet

Walboro fuel system or oem/holly pump with a vulcan line kit and a juice would be a great start (tell him Sluggo)
Stage one afe is just fine- you could even buy just the $70 replacement filter if you wanted to build your own heat sheild.

My friend just bought a AFE replacement filter & made a custom box out of aluminum then welded a pipe through it to hook on the filter & his intake tube. It really turned out nice & sounds great too! If you want good fuel pressure on a low budget....a pusher pump like a holley blue only costs $110 from Advance Auto. In conjunction with your stock LP will supply 20psi idle.

What he says. I went with a replacement universal nanofilter from Amsoil, and am very happy. My EGT's are cooler now (though I wasn't really that hot to begin with) and the turbo/air sound is much louder. I like the effect of the turbo whistle, but the silencer ring is definitely going back in soon!

one of the mags did a comparison between the stock box and a few aftermarket units. they didnt get any change until they were pushing 500hp. you can buy one for looks, or spend it somewhere else.
