What's the best thing to add to the STS setup?
By best, i mean most cost effective for the power output...
I stroked a 5.3 to a 383, with the 3.905 pistons and the 4.000 crank. Forged bottom end, STS turbo t60-1, methanol injection, boost controller.
Just wondering what you though the cheapest way to get more power to the ground.
New injectors? (more boost)
Stall?
FMIC?
Heads?
Oh yea, i forgot, Cam?
Any help would be appreciated.

What size injectors are you running???? I would say a smallish size cam you help you spool up the engine much much faster. A stall will help get you out of the hole and get more power to the ground. A FMIC will lower those AITs which will allow you to fun more boost. Once you strat running lots of boost you risk the chance of lifing the heads. What is your compression ratio??? If its high I would say to get a set of lower compression heads to help keep you away from detinaion.
So I guess what I am really saying is get all 5

Just running stock injectors now. If i didn't list it, assume it's stock.
It's a pretty stock truck xcept for the FI and built motor.
Oh yea, i forgot to add, the motor was built with lower compression in mind. I think i'm running about an 8.5:1 CR. -32cc dished pistons with the stock 5.3 heads (58cc chambers i think) drops it quite a bit. Also running the ARP head bolts to reduce lifting of the heads.
