Mild 6.0 build recommendations
I know that this topic has probably been beat to death but I figured I'd make my own post.
Truck in question is an 06 F250 with 111k on it. Right now it's all stock except for coolant filter, egr delete, and a 4" turbo back exhaust and SCT tuner with custom tunes. I did stud the engine but only had 3 days to complete the job as it was my only truck at the time and the heads were warped when I put then back on the vehicle. That lasted about a year and started blowing coolant out of the degas bottle again. So it's been sitting for 5 years and now I wanna put some money into it.
Itll just be my fun truck and may see light towing but i have a dually now that will do most of that. I would like recommendations on injector sizing, turbo upgrade, regulated return or not, should I get the heads oringed after getting them tried or just get them trued? What else would be recommended with the cab removed?
Thanks in advance
Bill
