Hey everyone..I'm back!

Been awhile since I have been on the forums. Just been enjoying my truck and all the other stuff...kids...wife...work...etc. Anyway, just finished replacing the wiring harness in my truck (I do a lot of driving in Baja and a connector on the wiring harness was bad so we just replaced the whole thing). Now that we have done that it's time for the next stage in the power evolution! Below are my plans. Let me know if I am missing anything...

1. Overdrive crank pulley (Metco). They say it will bump 2-4 psi. I am hoping for 14psi.
2. Boost A Pump to deal with the power.
3. 8-Rib Belt conversion.
4. E-Fan conversion.

I am running 60 lb. injectors so they should be adequate. Anything else you recommend I do while I am at it? When I had my tranny rebuilt I had them do a complete upgrade and swap out all they could to help it handle the power. Hopefully it holds up. Looking for around 650 hp hopefully. For those that don't know the engine is fully built (complete forged bottom end with all ARP bolts).

On a sidenote just ordered Whipple Stage II kit for our company owner's Raptor. He was tired of not being able to keep up with me. HAHAHA

I understand that you have a 5.4L 3V, will forgive my ignorance but did not know I could install a Stage II Whipple in our engines. I understand that is a 2.9L, correct ?.

It's a 2.3L Whipple. There is no per se Stage II.
