Obs build plans

Okay guys I reasently installed baby swamps and wow it woke the truck up but I'm definitely gonna half to do something with the turbo and hpop but I'm thinking of doing two diffrent options one put a sd turbo on with ported ar housing and ww2 and a intercooler and a set of valve springs and push rods and a stage one cam and have my hpop modes to a t500 or have everything but instead of the sd turbo a s366 but I didint know if the s366 is to big for the baby swamps and of course I'd put head studs in with this option

Get gauges so you can watch your motor!!

the sd turbo isnt much of an upgrade even with the ww, i would go with a s366. hpop for sure, and t500 is a great choice. i dont see a lot of people on here who put cams in their trucks and i dont know how much benefit you would get? valve springs, push rods, and studs is a great thing to do for security. An intercooler is another must if you plan to tow with your truck. Efuel is another thing you might want to look into. Also you will want to get a good chip to make it all come together.

Do the 366 kit. Or if you have the SD parts to install a SD turbo then get a gtp38R for it.

The t4 mount has many options but the 366 is real popular.

Get tunes from gear head if you want decreased smoke. That is his thing.
