Well I found out about a month ago that my truck needs head gaskets. After I bought the truck I did the usual, H&S Mini Max with Hot Damn tunes, S&B CAI, Dp back exhaust,and then did an Elite cold pipe. So now I am gonna start building it. Was just gonna go in and stud it and be on my way. But I have decided to do some upgrades while it is apart.

Planned mods:
-ARPs with stock gaskets
-Full port and polish on the heads
-Hardened valve seats
-Stg. 1.5 valve springs
-Chrome Moly pushrods
-Dieselsite Coolant filter
-4"dp
-EGR delete

After this at some point it will get a built transmission. Plans eventually I feel is gonna be a big single with dual fuelers.
As of right now these are my plans and it will be going to the shop here very soon. I have read and asked questions and this is what I have come up with. I would still like some input on what I have chosen. Shooting for north of 600 on the dyno after all of this with stock fuel and stock turbos.

Thanks Cody

adding a mpd single kit and a 66 for now

I was really hoping you would do the valvetrain upgrade first and then do the turbo after. I have always been curious what a valvetrain upgrade on stock fuel and turbos would do. In any case, excellent choice on the turbo, I bet you will be thrilled with your choice. Make sure to keep up posted.

I was going too, but decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on this
