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

Can you do that all the time? Or do you just have one for sale?

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.
