Be sure to get some good before and after vid's of your exhaust.

Would like to hear the difference. From what you currently have it sounds like its loud

 

[Nick The Great]

This will be a fun thread

 

[Bigredmariner]

Hell yeah, you dun yet?

 

[buckshot85]

I can't wait either. I've been trying to figure mine out without going boost

 

[DV2000NJ]

Specs sound right on, I know the cam Pat G spec'd for my truck is great.

Any particular reason you're changing the oil pump?

 

[buRRp]

Sweet. Can't wait to see it done

 

[svensk]

Peace of mind I suppose. I run that pump (melling 100296 w/high volume spring), but that's only because the AWD pan starves the sump.
