body style??
ditch the diablo for custom tune, then start lookin at cams..
what do u want to use the truck for besides daily drivin..
any towing???
212/218 high lift gets my vote... power down low to tow and no need for stall...
220/551 would be awesome but a 2800 stall at least..

Hopefully no stall for awhile. I do tow now and then not to often and plow in winter just a few friends drives and my own. Was hoping to get up around 400hp.

I had 2 and tried to motify both one had the 8.1 and it was OK but it had the Alli...just hard to do the trannies and weight steal so much drivetrain power loss...even thye driveshaft is a monster compared to to half ton basically a good tune would be ideal cause you need the tourque to move that turd...i did everything headers etc...not nearly wjat i hoped for...good luck

I wouldn't worry about a converter, the HD flashes and brake stalls @ 2500rpm.
