What is your goal with your truck? That would give everyone a better idea and help give you feedback.

 

[dellen20]

a fast all around truck lol ive got 6" fabtech lift 35" nitto mud grapplers... motor work= ****** shorty headers borla xr1 mufflers no cats throttle body spacer k&n intake sct programer comp 268 cam and soon patriot heads and valve springs

 

[dellen20]

and yea that would help sorry im new at this...

Your list is pretty good but ditch the TB spacer. I havent heard much about those heads do you have details? Where are you located also? Welcome to the forum by the way we have a few trucks with motor work done. I have pulled mine apart from top to bottom once and swapped cams twice.

Make sure you have all your gaskets ready to go along with new head bolts (they get over tightened when you install them to "stretch the bolt" so they have to be replaced every time), make sure you have a revised tune for the heads, check the springs on the heads (what kind are they) some brands have been known to fail, ditch the tb spacer.

And Welcome to the forum, good to see another reg. cab short bed on here.

there patriot valve springs they're coming with the heads. when i bought the truck the only thing it had done to was th tb spacer... so i just left it on. where would i go to have the tune on my programmer revised? head specs = Combustion Chamber: 85cc
Intake Volume: 180cc
Exhaust Volume: 57cc
Intake Valve: 2.02"
Exhaust Valve: 1.575"
Valve Job: 5-angle

Thats a good price on the Patriot heads.

 

[dellen20]

they went down a bit since last time i looked at them. i had stock valve springs break and messed up my heads so it was either get aftermarket heads now or have stock heads machined... i was planing on getting heads just kinda bad timing with money but oh well

Who did you org buy the Sct from? Sean aka Hemifever is a Sct tune maker and can hook you up just have to get with him on pricing.

 

[chefred112]

...gears..since you have a lift and bigger tires..

 

[rocket]

How fast do you wanna get? The 35's and 6 inch lift is gonna keep you on the 1/4 mile. not much pavement turning imo. Thats still an impressive ride you got there.

 

[smykowski]

the cam will be the biggest part that will either make or break your build, talk to an experienced cam designer, they can grind a cam to match your heads perfectly. i have a custom cam from a guy who grinds his own cams from a single billet core (not to mention his build-info sheet is literally 3 pages long) in my strip car, by FAR the best $350 i've EVER spent.)

 

[Trupiano]

If your doing heads, might as well just go with a 392 6.4L stroker kit! = P

 

[dellen20]

i did get with sean cool dude... 250 for revized tune only cuz i already have programmer

 

[dellen20]

yea my truck is my true gf haha but shes pretty quick for running 35's i havent found another truck running 35's that can beat me. i have a comp 268 in it now

 

[RAMpage]

I didnt see you mention anything about better pushrods? i would highly recomend them if not.

 

[Redtruck-VA]

4:56 gears will wake her up!

 

[dellen20]

i think im going to have to go with a different cam cuz after shardon heads its not liking them... we have pulled 60% fuel out of the tune and still running rich. i havent seen anyone with the 268 comp and heads yet. everyone has a different cam. anyone heard of the spartn cam?

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

Chef is running a Spartan, I had a 6.1 reground to Spartan specs and im now running a Crazy Startan on a 112LSA. Its odd your 268 is having an issue with those heads. Sam on here ran a comp 268 for awhile but he was running Inertias BV heads. If you do pull that cam it wont set around long before ya sell it.
