whats your opinion

Ok well i have too many options to choose from on what i want to do with my truck. It's my daily driver, part time tow rig, and eventually when summer hits a drag truck and possibly sled pulls. feel free to post your opinion on component selection and interaction. keep in mind im in college and this wont happen right away. Im just trying to figure out what to get and then when it's all in my garage it will all go in at one time. current mods in sig also. on the compound "hair dryer" set up im looking for more volume and less pressure.

What i want to do with the truck;

parts that i have and have to install-

'99 i/c, 24 valve intake elbow, 3" i/c piping
400hp 800tq valair clutch
366 spring

what i want-

my HX35 or a HX super 40 over a S400 or a HT3B
ATS manifold flipped upside down and port matched
custom 5" turbo back exhaust to 6" stacks
head studs
fire rings
6X16's
NV4500 with my 205 tcase when the rag takes a crap

and finally paint

I don't think 5" exhaust fits on our trucks. Guess there are ways around that though.

lol. I put 4" in my truck, and it was pretty tight. I guess you could modify the trans support, or go under it. anything in the name of performance. lol

heck, make it exit out of the front fender lol no no no thats crude. but judging price wise i think i might go with a HT3B and my HX35/H1c hybrid except get rid of my 18 cm housing and put a 16, 14, or 12cm? with a waste gate probably set at 20 psi?

I don't think there's any performance gain in going to 5" on our trucks... Stick with the 4", and save a few bucks.

I think stickin it out the front fender would be cool, it would be sneaky, and i haven't see a truck with exhaust like that yet...
