[QUOTE="alwaysdiesel, post: 1534369, member: 14250"] Got bone stock 6.0 with 118xxx miles that is making metal so I'm prepping for a mild build, I'm suspecting lifter/cam failure but don't have any symptoms currently(other than the metal..). I'm looking for some input on general modifications and mostly supporting mods. My plan is to replace HPOP and injectors since they've probably been contaminated, leading me to upgrade but still keep it daily drivable. I'm hoping to have it in the 5-600 HP range and still tow without excessive EGTs. I want to know what is all necessary at those power levels. I've read tons of threads, but lots of people don't list small or non power adding parts like upgraded valve train. Do I need springs/pushrods? Best budget fuel system? O-ringed heads? ..ETC From what i've read, the bottom ends are tough so not too concerned there. So far my list is: -WDI or Holder's 190/30 or 205/30 205/75 (opinions on nozzle size?) -Thumper I HPOP (rather than spending the same on stocker) -KC Stage 2 -SCT X4 -Possibly Colt cam if stock is wiped -ARPs -Intake/exhaust -5R110 Rebuild kit w/ upgraded converter -Upgraded Up pipes -Regulated return (best kit?) -Fuel system? Other things I plan to do: -Replace lifters (opinions on OEM vs aftermarket?) -Inspect or Replace LPOP -Stand pipes and plugs -Blue spring and Banjo bolts -Glow plugs -Belts and thermostats -Oil cooler (suggestions) -Bottom end gaskets for reseal -EGR ****** Thanks. Feel free to PM me if you have some advice on brands you don't want to share here [/QUOTE]
