Sounds like a pretty sweet build to me. Nice.

However IMHO, I wouldn’t really deem the fuel system upgrade necessary as there is nothing demanding more fuel other than tuning, which a stock fuel system can more than handle? Also, I would go with a Hydra instead of the TS6 every day of the week. Worth every bit of the extra money. And as far as a turbo goes a KC38R would be worth looking at.

All in all sounds good though! Can’t go wrong with any of that.

I had a some spare parts from another truck. The 6 position chip, turbo, and fuel system. The only thing installed was the turbo and I only put 10,000km on it. So I am going to give them a shot and see how they work.

Skip the headers and Amsoil filter setup.
Just my opinion.

I very much want to hear a review of the full traction 4 link kit and the even more so the RTLS since there are 0 reviews of the RTLs I can find on internet, forums, facebook, etc. I would put both of those on my truck immediately if funding were not an issue. Sounds like a cool build for sure, however I would certainly agree that you might as well get a hydra now and install it once, then you will never have to fool with it again because you can just plug in and change tunes whenever you want. To me, that is certainly worth $300 to never have to fool with pulling the pcm and chip and risk messing up the chip every time you pull it off. The stock hydra tunes will be much better anyways and since you are going to 35's, you may want custom tunes to make the shifts better.

Ok Hydra it is! Also Zep why not the amsoil setup or headers? I know that the headers will not do much but it’s more for looks right now.

7.3 platinums are my favorite, so cool looking.

It’s often hard to keep the headers from leaking.
I hate the mess of additional lines and clutter on a bypass oil system, and don’t see the need for it on normal, recommended drain intervals.
I say spend the money on those items for something that will me more of a benefit.

After selling a million superduties (post 1999) they made a limited edition (super rare like 2500 or something) and they were all 2001’s, silver/grey 2 tone, ccsb, and had a special interior with platinum stitching everywhere.

Craziest thing was back then a platty was only 2k more than a lariat lol
