Who makes the cams? or do you have to get regrinds?

What kind of supercharger is on there?
Stronger valve springs by Ferrea, valve job, ported and polished heads, OEM cams (regrinds are expensive for minimal gains since I can't tune it, yet...) and since I have VVTI it'll be a mess right now, JE Pistons, OEM crank (good for 1000hp) and it's a 6 bolt main, and lastly stronger rods. I have some performance main bearing from a Lexus engine in it as well. They are the same spec but can handle way more. The crank was ground to accept more commonly used rods. It's going in this week.

I'm only going to be pushing around 9-11 PSI. I'm sticking with the TRD supercharger which is a TVS1900. I'm going for 700ish HP to the crank. Still going to be my daily. Oh, and upgraded fuel pump.

I'm sure it will! My motor is an isolated incident caused by me.

Is this a flex fuel truck?

How are you tuning it?

These have a forged crank stock right? Any other stock forged internals?

Still have all four. I will have to see about getting rid of those two, I need more sound out of this thing anyway.

Not flex fuel, when this one came out it was not an option. They do have a forged crank, it's pretty beefy. 6 bolt mains. The other components were cast, good for stock, not for boost. It now has forged rods and pistons. Valve train was also upgraded. Going to be running the TRD tune for now, I'll be installing a Haltech elite standalone later when I have more cash so I can tune it and turn up the boost.
