Well its official, I quit driving the platnium. trading it in next week or so for an SUV of some sort. I got some cash to burn and im looking at building the 6.0 shop truck i have. If you have a different opinion, let me know! Dont want to waste too much money on different setups.

I already have the cab pulled, I already have the common mods done already.
exhaust, Edge CTS, SCT innovative tunes, yaddy yada. Steves full EGR/Delta kit is on the way along with the coolant filter.

Now on to the bigger ticket items
-Full trans build (Josh at Darkhorse)

-RCD's thumper pump

-625 Studs

-225/100's

-Going to order Vision's stage 2 64.7 VGT

-HD Uppipes

-valve springs and pushrods

-full fuel system from sump to RR. Martys

Now my question is that I really like Matts Compound kit he offers. Im thinking a 475 (maybe 480?) feeding the 64.7 VGT. Im wondering if i should gate off each uppipe. One to the Atmo, and one to relieve total Drive Psi and dump to the downpipe.

Still running stock bottom end, I hope I don't window the block. I have a spare short block I'm building with rods, and pistons on the side while I drive it.

Let me know if this compound idea is too much, stupid, or if i should just run a big single and be laggy as hell.

Plans changed, just ordered assorted 304ss mandrel bent 3 and 4 inch tubing, v band assembly's, t4 to 4 inch V-band adapter. Tons of little things also, all bungs for drains and sensors, supply and drain hose with AN fittings. Atmo support items, I'll build something that bolts to passenger battery box location.

Still need to order waste gate stuff, I will be using stock egr outlet area, and wrap around intake mani to feed into a Y going to the atmo. Cannot decide on a 44 or a 50mm gate?

I'm going to try to squeeze a 5 inch down pipe in there. I doubt it will happen though. If not, hood stack FTW! Pretty excited to get started! Time to brush off the Tig skills and see what my imagination puts together underneath the hood.

3.5" pipe works just fine and is much easier to get along side the heater box for sure, and the right turbo builder :poke: James at barder turbo :poke: can make any charger u would like to run as an atmo a 4" vband exhaust outlet so u don't have to try to squeeze 5" in the wheel well of reduce down to 4"
