I figured it out

All i need is about $8000 to get my truck exactly how i want it to look and perfrom. That would include long tubes, chip, high flow cats, 20 or 22 inch rims, new hood, bed cover, ft valve body, 1 inch lowered in front and 2 inches in the rear, throttle body, powertube intake kit, and getting my intake manifold and t/b ported and polished. This can be done, but i dont know, sometimes it seems crazy to spend my hard earned money on my truck, especially when i'm going house shopping this month. Hmmm,,, time to start working more overtime hours,, guess i could live in my truck,, especially after i put in a bed rug oh yeah, bed rug,, there add another 500 to the number.

Its tough, wish i could just be happy with the mods i have, but its soo addictive, i already have bassani cat bak, air filter kit, and oil breather, along with a very very nice ($$) stereo system, so i have every reason to be happy. Yet still, i keep itching for more.

Time to do much more homework, definately want to get it right first time around so that way i dont have to spend more money I've always been very picky about everything i own so sister mary elizabeth please help me. Nothing is worse then an insomniac with a plan!!!!!!

Oh well though, i'm sure i'll be happy no matter how much i spend, i'm a sucker for the grin on my face when i get all the stuff done to the truck.

Factory Tech,
From the posts of yours i've read and the work i've seen so far there is no way i could go without including your valve body on the list. Thanks for the email. I'll be sure to post here as soon as I get it installed. I'll be sure to post pics and info on the installation as well.

Beware all,, lightnings are addictive beyond belief

ps,, you are right slvrbolt. I'm sure lower engine rebuild and more boost will come into play as soon as i get my intake and exhaust all set to the way i like it. I've been choosing to take sort of a BABolt concept to modding my truck. Getting the most i can out of a throttle body and intake kit, tied in with long tubes and high flow cats, plus a factory tech kit to help the tranny, then i'm sure it will only increase the grin on my face and the itch for more from there.
