How are those spark plug wires holding up? I'd suggest some heat socks (~$20 on ebay) if there are any spots near the primaries.

I really like your truck. I'm looking for basically the exact same thing to put a turbo kit on for a daily.

Truck looks killer, and the low miles definitely helps!!
As far as I know, the stock pulley is good for around 8-10 pounds. I've put miles on it since lol it's around 109,000 now

The boots are holding up pretty well, I check them every oil change.

Thanks man. No under hood pics since the long tube install but I can probably take a couple this week and post them. The blower isn't in yet, I've got to put the TC shift kit in first and still have a few more things to get.

After much consideration and research, I've decided to ditch the LSA and go with a ProCharger setup. Keep an eye open in the For Sale section this weekend for my ad.

After reading many threads on various forums I've noticed most people have trouble with either the install or the tuning. Being that this is my daily driver I don't want to run in to issues that'll put the truck down for several days. The time to install is also a factor, it can take anywhere between 8 - 12 hours or more depending on how smoothly everything goes. I think more can go wrong with the LSA overall, however, if I wasn't doing this to my daily then I'd absolutely go with it. With the procharger, I can install it my self in probably less than 8 hours. I like the air to air intercooling and less parts to worry about.
