I'm not trying to shoot ya down, but I would've gotten a V8. You'd get bigger bang for your buck, IMO. Additionally, I'd be worried about head gaskets with the V6, if it is still the cam-in-block design. The earlier ones, IIRC were 3.8 blocks and I know the 3.8 had head gasket issues. I replaced a bunch of them.

Your truck will be very fast with 8 - 10 psi on a turbo setup.
You should make great numbers while still remaining somewhat conservative, so it should still give you good reliability.
I'm not sure how strong the crank is on the 4.2, but it's relatively short since it's a V6 so it should hold up pretty well even if it's cast.
I'm curious about your 60-lb injectors. Seems a bit overkill for your setup, though they can likely be tuned to run well. Why 60 as opposed to a 42? Just curious, not slamming your setup or anything.
