That looks fine. The TQ V3 will require good springs and occasional checking of them. But it should drive nice in the 6L and make good power.

Out of the injectors you listed the 36# would be the better of the 2, I'd even consider 42# so you have enough. Should be a good combo when it's all said and done.

Bump for update. Decided on the original build as stated. Got it all ready to go in still need injectors and TB but that's it ( and a good worth a **** tuner in DFW).
Added a 150 shot.
Any thoughts?
