Finished up most of the motor stuff today. I got the new Melling High Volume oil pump installed, and new JP Performance timing chain set. The cam sprocket had a bearing on the back of it, never seen that before. anways i got the exhaust leak all fixed up and the truck is insanely quiet. When cruising around it is quieter than stock, i freaking love it, but when the turbo spools it get lounder 
.... Also it is spooling faster now that all the exhaust is all sealed up, lots of fun to drive. My oil pressure at idle is about 40psi, and cruising it is around 55psi. I have the stock pressure spring installed. I also ordered some new spark plug wires. The are taylor 409 race series. Man they are freaking thick and you can use the factory metal shroud things with them. After all of that, my truck idles awesome! smooth as glass.
Here are a few pics.

Corey your truck has come a long way and is getting better and better with every turn!! Congrats but also nice job on taking your time with it. I've been guilty of doing too much at one time and don't get to appreciate all the little changes done over time. I wish I could of done it the way you've done it so that I could appreciate it more.
Now only if someone could teach you how to use a video camera!!
