Smile Help me build a Sled Puller

So my truck isn't need on the job anymore and instead of selling it, I'm turning it into a sled puller. So far, this is my list of "needs".

F1 Cam
F1 Springs
Flux 4's
Cp3 Stage 3
A5000 Turbo (no twins aloud)
Raptor 150 fuel pump
Smarty race 4000 rpm
Traction Bars
Weight bar
Suspension blocks

What in your opinion do i need to consider or change? Who makes the best ladder bars for the price? Where can I get a good deal on the turbo? So many questions.... so much money....

Let the opinions fly!!

Also, I'd be willing to do a partial trade with my current turbo for a A5000.

you might want to read the rule book on size turbo around here the A5000 is a tad too big for the mod class

The rules are 2.8 inch. What is the size of the A5000? I was thinking it would pass...

I would give haisley machine a call and get a second gen ats manifold, and hang a s400 with a 2.8 housing on it. I believe a modified s400 will out flow a 5000 and probably more dependable.

u can always put a reducer on the turbo. and gdp's ladder bars are the Best design imo. I decided to build my own to look similar, but I just put bigger tubing. they've worked so far.

What size of tubing did you go with? I'll be making my own as well and going with a GDP style. Any other information on material used would be great. I'm also curious about suspension blocks and ideas for that.

1 1/2 instead of 1". 1/2" flat stock. and welded rear custom brackets. gdp has the best and not going against them, just figured more steel wasnt going to hurt.

You might want to see if you can get one of those f1 pressure boxes as well and a modded rail. Squeeze as much fuel in as possible

Might check around I remember hearing the weight bar was'nt able to be used in some classes due to a 8000lb maximum weight.

But then again Ive seen a few trucks with them. Must be a class spec???

Not sure what you weigh dry but youd probly be close to 8000lbs if you get a ****** Weighted shifter ball.
