Those are the OBX brand everyone gets off ebay. Beware though many people have had problems with them, thats why I ended up just getting pacesetters.

1slow01Z71 is correct, they are the OBX. I figured saving about $1000 is worth a couple dents in the exhaust piping where I can't see them. They look great, and I live in ohio where i figured I would be better off with stainless.

Stock intake for now, then I'm going with the TVS1900 when it comes out unless it's like $100,000 or something crazy. I will not pay more for boost, than I did for the engine/tranny swap.


I have a question. What injectors should I use, should I keep the stock ones for now, and go bigger later, or just go big now. Will the stock ones(28lbs) be big enough for the 6.0, or is that what they come with.

Stock injectors will be fine with that small cam but you will be close to 100% duty cycle I would just wait until you boost it to step up the injectors.

Depends on how efficient the TVS units are.

Turbo has the ability to make more power but a roots style blower will give you more punch down low and probably be more fun to drive. It just depends on where on you want all your power and how much money you want to spend.
