?'s about STS on my 8.1
So I came across a good deal on a universal STS sytem that I'm putting on my 8.1 4x4 Silverado. I'm running on a limited budget so the cheaper the better. What are some good plugs to run on this setup? I don't quite know how much boost this moter can handle stock either. 5...7...9lbs?? What is a good, but enexpensive(as possible) upgrade for the fuel delivery system?
I've got other ?'s but cant think right now. Any help would be great.

Stock pump should be fine. I would go with at least 60# injectors. None intercooled 5 psi max. Intercooled 8 psi would be good for reliability.
I run NGK TR6 plugs.
BTW you WILL have to run 2 38 mm wastegates! I'm having problems with boost creep on my truck and I'm running a 42 mm racegate. AKA I can set the wastegate at 4 psi and it will go to 12 psi.
