Doing studs, but what else while Im there?

[MrOneEyedBoh]

Im going to be doing studs here soon. I planned on doing more things but the money I thought I was going to use, well some had to go else where. So this is where I stand...

Im going to get studs done with all the updates ( I have an 06 ). I bought a y pipe from strokers unlimited since that seems like a decent upgrade while the cab is off, along with a ported intake as well. Now I do plan on going with bigger injectors too, but that will have to be later on. Is there anything else that is worth while doing and or makes installs a little easier while the cab is off? I was thinking of a RR from strictly Diesel. I think I will also send my 03 turbo that I have sitting here and send it to Barder as well.

Any help is appreciated .


BTW, I already have all of the usual stuff done to the 6.0. Monitor with EGT, FP, coolant filter etc etc

The regulated return is a very good idea if you can.

Bump up

I did my RR while the cab was up, not sure how it is done when its not.
Sounds like you've got the ford updates covered. Is a new oil cooler planned. Nice and easy, noes the time to do it.

Anthony what turbo are you gonna go with from James? I say the Stage3 with 205/75 that would run very nicely!!

 

[ODAWG714]

I'd do the oil cooler of the deltas are way off, if they're not imo I wouldn't bother.

Stc fitting if you haven't done so yet

 

[MrOneEyedBoh]

They are about 5-9 at its best and worse.

Turbo wise most likely stage2-2.5. I plan on running 175/75s, but later on.

This is where I'm stuck too... You can get the parts cheaper than it would cost for the shop that's doing the work. But then you usually get no warranty on the install or something like that... That's another dilemma that is face is to let the shop but the parts or I buy and hope the job doesn't fail...

 

[Derkperk]

If you are paying for the work and your delta is ok, I wouldn't change the cooler either.

any time you're that deep into it, I would go ahead and do an oil cooler if the other one has been on there for any length of time. No extra labor at that point

 

[MrOneEyedBoh]

I may do it, its only an additional few hundred..

but like I said to ODawg, Im stuck on whether to bring my own parts and get ZERO warranty or just front the extra cash and get a warranty.

like we talked earlier on the phone bro, justin will take care of ya and he will include a warranty if you purchase your own parts.

 

[MrOneEyedBoh]

Yeah just seeing other options. Also looking for more info on people that have used him. I really have only found 2 people so far.
