I think alot of people pass on the intrercooler and with EFI u can get what ever horse power gains you want it to be tuned to.

I asked mike L about transmissions but haven't seen a reply yet. i am planning on the lift kit with 35" tires, upgraded fuel pump, intake, exhaust, and efi live tune...i also need to upgrade the trans gt any a 6th gear to try to help this truck reach 20mpg on the highway. would a deep pan kit with the transgo Jr kit combo with the suncoast 6 speed conversion handle the new power? any thoughts are greatlyapprwciated

I don't think you need the 6 speed conversion just a built transmission and a converter.

You will never gain enough mileage to justify the cost of a 6sp conversion. Do you live or spend much time in the city? A 6" lift and 35s would make parking vary hard in a big city. Even at stock height and 33s I have a hard time finding parking at times.
