I would upgrade the Lift Pump (I went with Glacier 392, great fuel system) and a fuel pressure gauge to monitor.

What I have done is start out with:

BDPP, and a 4" exhaust with pyro and boost gauges (I have a 6 speed)

I then added a Big Line kit from the fuel filter housing to the CP3 with a fuel pressure gauge, and that is when I found out my lift pump was on it's way out.

I then added the GSL 392 kit from Glacier and running 20 PSI to the CP3.

I am now waiting for my TST Powermax CR R49AP to stack with the BDPP. The R49AP gives me the change on the fly, a crap load of adjustability, gauges, including Rail Pressure gauge and able to adjust the Rail Pressure among other things, including a program for a single, twins, fuel economy, standard program, adjust timing, and more.

I have also ordered a kit for an air intake in preperation for a SPS (the 66 is the one I am thinking of going with) and Injectors.

I MAY go with the 5" after that, depending on EGT's, as I am staying away from Nitrous, Meth, etc.....as I want to run on #2 only.

I like Nitrous (I run it on both of my race cars) but for a street car, having to fill bottles is a pain in the butt to me.

i would go with a upgraded lift pump, get a clutch,SBC or the like, then look at a turbo, for you mods a small single will do!! I recommend the II SPS6280. It is good up to 600 hp or something like that. Plus it spools much the same as a stocker!

How is your clutch holding up? If it is slipping now, how far did you go before it started to slip? Clutch is always on the back of my mind since on my last truck, the superchips, exhaust, and intake were way too much for it to handle.
Thanx.
