Definatly swap to L92's. Flow 300CFM out of the box, get a FAST intake, big cam and be a nasty little set up

this place is a bad influence.

i plan to spend about $3500 on mods for it.

headers are a must. it will be a true duel 2.5" exhaust. it is already on the truck.

i am torn between a H/C/I NA set up or a cam and used super charger.

i may as well add in for a converter and some tranny work

Have to learn to lurk instead of jumping on the band wagon.
