Sounds like a great plan, I too am in the middle of a rebuild. Nice pics!

I am no expert but I have been told that you shouldn't have both intercooler and water injection. Reason being that the intercooler prevents the water from having the desired affect. Like I said I am no expert, just thought I would pass it along.

not the case at all, we have an automotive shop and dyno, i have pulled lots of trucks before and after and it makes a very noticable difference. i will run it both ways with dyno numbers, after assembly. thanks for the encouragement ordering parts next week.

need to get in the other threads and read more!!!

does anyone change rods or will they hold up fine?
also 37's fit with six and some trimming? going to lift the burb, leaves pavement for dirt road and i dont like the "tire under truck look" i would like to tuck it in the well a little. what do you guys think of baja fenders?
