Still a bit upset of your ever increasing lead!
Promise your going to have plenty of time to catch up. It's gonna be a while before I get everything together. Gotta get my gears done, body lift, head studs, & timing set completed before I even think about mounting the blower.

Ya, but I'll boost on a worn out, tired, rusty truck. You'll have a badass monster

Boost is boost. your already planning your next motor anyways. Your just expediting the departure of your current engine. LOL.

Just need heads, cams, pistons, and an array of studs. Break it then build it better right?

Out of curiosity, how miles is on yours?

Little over 18k on the engine, 186 on the rest.

Truck looks good for 186xxx.

I want to be different and run a set of supercharger cams matched for a ported eaton setup. I hear a lot of conflicting reports on whether working the factory is really worth the effort

Nice set of ported TF's with cams on LR. I'm sure you've already been scoping them out though...

Stage III cams would be a bit much for me but that's not a bad deal. Don't know about MHS cams though

Looking at their website and am quite confused..

Edit again: Im really liking the look of this.
Stage I ported heads, choice of their perf cams, new rockers, last adjusters, etc
For $2095 a set and a $150 discount for my heads

2k for a brand new set of heads and cams is a great deal. Especially with new valve train.
