Engine Mod's...Advice?

Looking to finally upgrade...truck is starting to feel slow again .

My current idea's are this, Looking for how it would all work and how much HP estimated you think it would put out.

Helix 2
Valve Springs
Flux 1.8 - 2's
HTT SS Exhaust Manifold
Floor It Stage 3 cp3...maybe not right off the bat..

Now the hard part, Turbo, ive searched and searched and yet to find a real decent answer to my turbo questions..

Im thinking either a 62/71/13ss or a 64/71/13ss, im looking for a turbo to keep all the mods in my sig and list cool..and by cool I mean all the time, not just enough turbo to get me down the 1/4 mile. I dont tow at all, but would like to still have the ability to do so if I ever needed too....but for 99.999% of the time its just a play truck / wanna be Trophy Truck.

Also would wouldn't mind some input on a BB Turbo that could handle my needs, Ahem Soulzero!

Also im planning on O-Ringing the Head / Arp 625's so ill have the ability to handle the added hp, figured id throw that in before someone asks...

With the list that you have, get the 64/71/13ss. Just tune around the lag if you tow by backing off the timing.

start now trying to get a hold of john about the pump. maybe he will have it ready by the time you have made up your mind on the upgrades and have everything installed. Rob Floor it lately is EXTREMELY slow with repairs and even getting new pumps finished.

Heck i would think a stg 2 pump would be plenty for flux 2's and the arp 625's are i little overboard too unless your going to keep dumping more fuel and air to her.

Update!

Looking for turbo advice asap lol....been having a wierd whistle sound for awile now, pulled my intake off today to take a look and sure enough 2 of the compressor blades looked chewed up a little, and I have a good bit of up and down shaft play...the turbo still makes max boost and dont have any other ill effects atm but im sure I caught this before it got any worse.

Now gotta decide on what to go with...In my mind im on either a 64/71/13ss or a Ball Bearing of equal "stats"? Looking for some input..and maybe about my intake also....

I have the Pro-Dry S, and when I pulled it all off today I can see dust inside the tube, and when wiped out with a white towel theres a light coat of black dust on the towel...ok? shouldent be anything? get a oiled filter?

Most guys seem to steer clear of the 64mm turbos. I have a 66 with less fueling than you and can spool it ok. I would seriously look at a twin set. It really seems the best of both worlds spoolup and top end flow. Look at wicked diesels twins, good setup with a very good price and great customer service.
