If you are going to go to that kind of setup get a better pair of heads and a better cam as well while you are at it. :rock:

You need an aftermarket boost gauge ( the stock one sucks) and a fuel rail gauge .

That's a very similar list of mods that I have on my stock motor truck. It is fun as hell to drive on the street, I enjoy it more than the Stokes truck for cruising around town. You may also consider a WBO2 and chipping hardware/romulator to get the most out of your toy.

Don't forget some kind of boost controller (unless you plan on running at or near base boost with the PTE) and gauges for at least boost/tranny temp.

could you recommend which brand of cam and what heads are best.

Well your going to be looking at the same build up of 50% of the truck's out there. Comp cam 412 is proven, but you might as well get the 422 its got more top end. Heads, dont even waste your time on stockers, I say dont waste your time on L35's. If your putting new heads on it Vortecs should be the min. Unported 96+ vortecs flow as good as some ported L35's, and the heart shaped combusion chamber helps reduce knock (alot supsedly)

just my :2cents:

But to go the vortec way your lower intake will need to be welded out by a shop to fit the ports, as well as the heads needing to be drilled for the old style intake. Look to spend 300-500 for all this to get done by a shop plus at least 100-200 for some 96+ heads.

If your building a motor it would be stupid not to. The stock rods are crap, as well as the pistons. For pistons SRP, JE, TRW (TRW the cheapest but still much improvement over stock) For rods most people go with eagle H-beams
