What else?

[austin229]

So my hpfp is going out... had rail pressure issues (losing nearly all pressure at shift and only holds 18-19k at wot). I checked low pressure and is good, so the cab is coming up and going to put a stock one back in... I have decided to go with a single instead of upgraded compounds for money and purpose of the truck (I drive it twice a week, and it hooks to a trailer rarely). What else should I do to it. 600-700hp is fine for now, I would like more later. I will rarely race or hook to a sled... I just want something fun to drive here and there. Would I be fine leaving it as it is stock bottom and top end with a 366 or should I put more money in it now and stud it and put springs, rocker arms, and pushrods in it while the cab is up

You should do studs at minimal I would say.

for studs if its not puking can I replace them 1 at a time?

The cab is coming up? So just do it the right way and take the heads off and make sure they are checked. No sense of doing it the wrong way especially if your cab is already coming up.

 

[austin229]

what kind of $ is a stud job pulling heads and checking everything?

 

[johnp115]

Not too sure but the bulk of the price comes from the labor of pulling the cab.

 

[austin229]

10-4... I figured it would be better to stud it now

 

[austin229]

if I'm pulling the heads should I go to a 15% over injector for a single, I am not upgrading the hpfp... too much bad with the dragon fire... After thinking about it I had rather do it all at once than keep having to lift the cab, as I will have this truck for a while.

I would absolutely do rocker arms, lifters, hd push rods, valve springs and pistons.

Doesn't require cab off but an aftermarket lift pump with better filters should be better for your new pump.

:whs: I would 6.0 exhaust manny and upgraded up pipes. Doing studs the right way would cost $300-500 to check the heads including magnaflux and deck, gaskets are about $200 IIRC.
