if you do a hemifever tune, he'll suggest for you to get a 180Tstat, which aren't expensive. I'd definitely do the CAI. I have a Vavaram, and love it, although the new S&B is tempting

Bring a few cans of Fukken with you when you come get the TB, and I will give you a 180 stat to go with it.

I am out of stock on the CST thermostats right now, but the Jet 180 stat is $36. Right now, they are at $45, but I will be dropping that price in a few minutes.

im all for having a fast truck but since your a cc weight is going to play against you. if you really want to wake things up id lookin into FI. with the price of a cam swap, tune converter and supporting mods you will be in the ball park of a fairlly new/used TVS2300. low boost it should be a more reliable DD then with a na build with a truck the produces more power. just my 0.2s
