Default Sts veterans please help!

My sts is here . 42lbs are on the way. 255 walbro on the way. I think I am going to pay a local tuner for a street tune. Was the under the door intercooler worth it. Keep in mind, this is my DD. No 12psi blast for this truck. It is a 60trim turbo and a stock 6.0. I need to order an intercooler, boost gauge and a wideband of some type. Any suggestions on where to go from here are welcome. I am on a budget, as the cash is gone and the job will be finished on plastic. Thanks

5-6 psi the under the door setup works. But if your doing 8-10psi i would get a front mount. Meth injection works the best for high boost

I believe i would go with a front mount IC, it would really help if you ever plan on towing anything and plus it will still leave you plenty of room to go larger in the future. haha but i'm always good at spending other peoples money.

go ahead and get an AEM wideband for sure- get a used boost guage off ebay- make your own FMIC- just get a bunch of prebent pipes- cut them to where they need 2 be then take it to a shop to get welded- try an EBAY intercooler- im running one and it works great-

Thanks, Jerry. I was hoping you'd chime in. I may be fooling myself , but a 6 psi 6.0 in a reg cab will prolly keep me smiling awhile. Right now I want a safe and solid 6psi setup. I hear BA, I am spent. Check my sig. Truck and all in the last 3.5 weeks. I need to get w/ dixie tuning. I kinda need to knock this thing out in one weekend . I might spring for yall a room if a couple of you wanted to come over for the weekend.

I don't drink so unfortunately its not any closer. Its an easy job to install the kit. Took me and a friend about 8 hours fot the install. That includes removing a s/c and installing the sts kit. If you get it on and tuned by Nov. 18th you should try and make it up to Silver Dollar.

I have been looking for a under the door setup to complement the Meth injection but cannot find anything that will fit, do you know where such a beast can be found?

ThanX.
