Plan is the new rod style, stock bottom 4.8, twin Borg Warner S258s, small shot of nitrous, and 100% E85. 25-30psi ought to wake it up!

The other project is swapping my current truck to a 4.8 as well and putting an S465 on it. I have a friend wanting to buy that one...should be a fun little truck too!
Nice update

Watch out for a white regular cab with a ladder rack...

I am going to lower the truck a little more than the last one...make it a little faster Maybe some centerline wheels...haven't thought that far ahead yet. Might do a little debadging too. Honestly I don't really have the mind to pick out stuff that I think will look good, so I'll probably have to ask you guys lol. I know something cool when I see it...but when it comes to thinking it up and making it look good in the first place, I'm pretty clueless

I am also open to suggestions for muffler selection! I want it to have a little more tone this time. That 30" magnaflow really made it quiet, but killed all of the defining sound of the cam. This time I'd like something a little bit more aggressive, but still turbo friendly. Ideas?
