Talking 4.8 s475 rcsb

So I've been throwing around the idea of fi and after my boy jumping on board the truck building I'm gonna go for it I've picked up a couple parts so far

New s475 1.32ar t6
Ms3 cam (don't plan on using)
Pac .650 springs
Forward stainless headers
27x12x3 intercooler
cx 44mm wastegate
243 heads (factory)

Open to any ideas and advice being this is my first forced induction build thanks in advance!

Make sure the ring gap is sufficient, otherwise everyone will know (lol), make sure the fuel system is up to task, invest in a good converter and don’t over think it. You’ve got some nice parts so far. Once you go boosted, you’ll never go back.

Little update on the build got a set of btr springs for it along with a extra set of 862 heads. Current motor has 862 heads also which I think I will run for the time being with studs and ls9 gaskets
