You need:
3 inch downpipe with your exhaust mods,
6637 intake,
boost and egt gauges so you don't melt down your motor
After that there is always:
Electric fuel
Bigger Turbo
Bigger Injectors
Built auto or SMF conversion and built clutch if 5spd.

Good to know thanks! Is there an oil you recommend for the motor, transfercase, and diffs? With 270k should I run a synthetic blend?

If you have any oil leaks fix them be for you run synthetic. They will leak faster with synthetic

I run a 15w40 Shell Rotella, Delo is also quite fine in the same viscosity. I am gonna try a 5w40 for this winter though I think. I run a synthetic atf in my zf5 trans, I run any 80w90 in my diffs, t case I haven't changed.
