Well first off I had an unfortunate thing happen with my motor and I had to pull it out. I have it torn down to a short block at the moment and I bought a cam. Im hoping that with a bigger cam I can spool my turbo quicker and lower egts as well. I'm just looking for any tips or advise that people have that could maybe make this go alittle smoother. Thanks in advance

What happened joe?

I was pulling the manifold and right when I had went to lift up I saw an injector harness clip pop off and go stright into the head:doh:. I tried for hours to get it out but it had wedged itself down there good. I didn't have any choice but to pull the motor and remove the head.

Wow that's no fun. What cam are you thinking?

I ended up going with the colt stage 2 from river city diesel. I've talked with a tech from colt about the stage 1 and also the stage 2. We both agreed that a stage 2 would benefit my truck better than the stage 1 would. Should be interesting to see the difference.

Nice I'm collecting parts for another build and trying to figure out which to go with. Will you need to cut your pistons?

That was something I worried about but after talking with the colt tech they said it's not required.
