Where can read up on those rockers? I think I will just do the long tubes, rockers, fans and ASP pulleys for now. I just ordered TOG headers. Got the ASP crank pulley from Whitt. I need to read more on the rockers and still have to decide which fans to get.

I contacted TOG's about the 6.0 headers with the 3" collectors. They are claiming 32 rwhp and 35+ rwtq with JUST headers. I hope they are right.

I'll wait on gears and 37 for awhile. Hell, I just put the lift, wheels and tires on at the end of April.

I'd ask around in the Internal Engine forum on this site for all the downlow on the rockers.

Since you ordered that crank pulley you will need an overdriven alternator pulley to keep your charging system close to stock. www.rpmoutlet.com sells them. I'd get a 1.75" one, it will set you back around $35. You will be hitting the charging system pretty badly with ~30amps from the fans alone, not to mention all the lights, blower fan, A/C, stereo if applicable, etc.

I'd spend the $200 for a 180A-200A alternator while this is going. The stock 105A will not keep up like this. That 105A rating is not at idle either, I'd say it is at like 2000rpms or so...idle is probably around 30-45A. I really need to upgrade mine with all my lights, electric fans, and a monster stereo I have nicely dimmed lights at idle with stock pullies!

32 rwhp and 35+ rwtq is that at the wheels? If so that kicks ***!

Oh, hahaha. about 3 months from your lift/wheels! Yeah, well I would wait for sure then.
