you will need car style injectors if you want it to look good. a new fuel rail, splice your wiring harness, modify your alternator bracket, relocate your idle pulley, different belts, different sensors, rerouted vaccume lines, modified fuel lines, and stuff like that. it nickle and dimes you to death.

Yea, its pretty involved...your bringing back memories! Yoda, if you do not have a bigger cam and deeper breathing heads, the gains are really not worth the cost and effort (unless you are going for looks). You can check out my build thread for some more details if you would like: https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=419024

oh ok haha.

when its a nitrous or N/A combo they prefer the ls6 out of the 2
