Yea I can't find much useful info. I'd like to be able to get a proper tune and enough fuel and put down over 300 ft lbs to the wheels. Maybe break the 200 hp mark too. With the powerband these trucks have, that would be fun with some gear.

Another thing with the headers is that I'm afraid it would sound like crap. I'd probably come off the headers into a magnaflow high flow cat and 3" pipe back to my magnaflow muffler that I'm currently running.

I've looked a little over there but they get really technical and if you mention efi they all pretty much just tell you you're out of luck. I'd rather just do what I can with what I have and get tuning and hopefully make some decent power.

They might have a few things I could use. I'll probably just get a spare head and intake to tinker with. Port them well, get quality roller rockers, a good cam, maf and va dyno tune with bigger injectors. Throw that in with a sas and some 37s and this thing would be a monster.

May be cheaper in the long run to just swap for a v8 though.
