Pictures of the two whipple kits I have:

Heads will require new bolts or recoating old bolts. I'm just trying to make sure you hit as few snags as possible. You're definitely capable of this stuff, I really want to see you succeed within your timeline. Seeing how the valvetrain is adjustable, that makes it easier to accommodate the pushrods on an as needed basis. I'm curious to see how the truck really does. Most people sort of kick around the idea of what you're about to do.

Getting new ARP bolts listed on the website for the heads.

I've been kicking these ideas around for almost a year now. Plan on getting an intercooler and maybe meth injection too. But I just wanna get it running with all the important bits first. Those other things are just weekend jobs.

I'm fixing to post up a list of everything I've put together to order.

The dirty kit has the bonnet. The others have the crap for the pulleys so that's good. The only thing that's potentially missing at a glance are the shims for the PS pump which are super easy to substitute. **** the Whippletronics. You can't give them away.

Intercooling is a game changer, but so is hot boost. I'd recommend boosting as is for now and dealing with intercooling later. You'll learn more about tuning along the way as well. Mine are far from perfect. I got luckier with the dually than the 1500 for sure on the fueling somehow. Either one will make a stock truck look like a retard. I thought my flipper was broken at first, but I've slowly come to the conclusion that stock is just that damned gutless up here.

Parts are being ordered! Waiting on replies from a couple companies to finish everything up.

I knew I had to be forgetting something. Rear main seal and wix oil filters.
Everything is ordered now. We went back to HPCON Charlie here in Korea, fingers crossed that it doesn't affect my PCS. I've already been extended for 3 months one time, if it happens again it won't be pretty.
