dont waste your money on the spacer... put the money toward the other bolt ons or a tune... also i got shorties over the summer and now wish i had put lt's on instead.. also why not get a v8 with a single turbo instead of twins the power gain i think would be greater... sweet looking truck btw and good luck with the build

Just contact Trick Performance and have them build a TVS1900 intake for you. A TVS1900 on your 4.3L would get you low 13's and high 12's if you pushed it and probably drive like it were stock. Hell for that matter even an MP112 which is available for a reasonable price right now would get you similar results.

single sts would be one of the easiest routes. for an sts setup with a chemical intercooler, you could buy an sts setup for a normal v8 and the modifications to the exhaust piping and intake tubing would be simple as could be. Installation of a chemical intercooler would be no different than if you were installing the kit on a v8. Make sure you get good long tube headers, and a nice ORY with no mufflers. Those STS trucks sound mean with no muffler since the turbo quiets it down a bit.
