Post List of everything needed for STS kit

Hey, I'm planning to purchase a STS turbo for my 6.0 RCSB 03 silverado. I was looking to get a parts list so I can order everything up ASAP. Here's what I've come up with so far: STS kit with T70 or T67 with A/R .96 upgrade, alky injection (not sure which kit though), 42lb injectors, in tank fuel pump, Tial or HKS BOV, gauges, and boost controller (does it matter which one). Is there anything I'm missing? I'd like to make AT LEAST 500 at the rear wheels through a 4L80E. Would I be better off going with the T70? Also, would the 42lb injectors be enough with meth or should I go larger? Sorry for the all the questions, I just want to make sure I get everything right. Thanks for any help!

Just an FYI, if you're running an automatic, you don't necessarily need a BOV...it doesn't help nor does it hurt on an automatic car. Save the extra $300 + and spend it other places.

SMC has a good kit to start with and works well up to 600 hp. The 42 lb. injectors should
be fine for you up to 500hp. hth...

You will be fine with 42# injectors. The methanol compensates for quite a bit of boost. Truthfully, you will not use near the potential of the 42's with 500hp. Will send you more details...PM

One of you STS dealers should step up and sponsor, I got two seperate inquiries from you guys last week and eventually someone should step up you can get a ton more hits by having a banner rather than just answering specific threads.
