words of wisdom on sts purchase

You should really do a FMIC setup to keep IAT's down without the need for meth. If it was me, I would plan on buying a new oil pump regardless of the condition of the original, for the peace of mind. Fuel pump and 44lb injectors will run you around $350, and I would install a BOV as well.

i really dont want to do an inter cooler if not necessary, i dont really want a full out racer. just enough to get up and go in those times when you feel like hammerin down. are the injectors and fuel pump a must?

You can add the intercooler which will fit right between the frame rails, and some charge piping which you will probably need anyway because you are fitting it on a newer truck, for around $200 off ebay. Yes you need the fuel system i listed to keep up with the turbo

right...5 to 6# boost with stock pump at most...any more will result in a new motor....everybody has added their comments as to my first post on this thread...get a 255 walbro for $110 and some 60# injectors and a ic for safety because you will want more boost as you drive as it is very addictive...

shure you can tune it to run anywhere...your prolly at 17* of timing at wot and down say 50-70 hp at 7 # boost compared to mine was at 450 hp at 8# with 26* of timing...thats where you need the extra fuel and injectors.
