Big red.
After your bracket/hardware, head unit, fmic. Then
Radiator hold down, fans and shroud, crank pulley/pinning kit, belt, blower pulley.
Look into a meth kit also, that will get a nice kit started, then feed it enough fuel

Depends on how much boost u going to run. U don't need a boost controller or bov u need a by pass valve. Wich one depends on boost level a small amount of boost the beginning level will work more boost then ur looking at either a big red valve or vortech mondo valve

I might not put the screws to it right away but id build it so all id have to do is tweak the tune and change pulleys. I was planning on moving my radiator so i can clear a better hat and use stock fans.

It's a 6.0 truck motor. And I was going to buy Sean's kit, he's good friends with a friend of mine. I called him a day after it sold. That's basically what I'm trying to do though

I'm subscribing.
I've been thinking seriously about doing the same thing ever since I saw the kit that Sean sold. I'm kicking myself for not jumping on that, I'm sure that it would have saved either of us a ton of $$ to pick it up from him.
What are you thinking of doing about your radiator? I'm thinking of either standing up my stocker or doing a Griffin radiator set up. I'll be doing a custom FMIC anyway, might as well do both at the same time.
Anyway, hopefully you'll post any parts list type info that you discover. I'm sure that you and I aren't the only ones planning this type of set up after seeing that one from Sean on the board.
Maybe we can get a mini-GP put together on a head unit / parts package and save a few bucks.
