LB7: Input on some new parts

[zacwht20]

So i'm leaving to go back overseas in a couple weeks and gonna give the truck a once over while I'm gone. Plans include the following

- New headgaskets w/ studs
- Heads pressure checked
- Valve Springs (Hamilton or SoCal)
- New Flow matched injectors 40% or 50% over ( old ones still good but have 45K on them and want to upgrade)
- Modded CP3 (most likely 85%)
- Headers and Up-pipes
- "Twin" setup ( refresh my stocker w a S475 or 480)
- Katskin Leather (Pearl with Dark Graphite inserts or switched around)
- New gauge cluster
- new Gauges (Cobalts)EGT, Boost, Drive pressure)
- Different wheels (Leaning towards Ultra Barons 20X9 with Toyo Proxes S/T)
- New tuning

Feel free to provide input, keep in mind this is just gonna be my toy

No modded cp3. Just get duals instead.

Any certain reasoning Pat?

Makes tuning really touchy. They Arnt as reliable.if you really want one, go for it. I'd stay clear of II though. Some people have great results with modded pumps. Others (me) have had nothing but bad with them. Check out the thread "85% truck sounds like a ford"

X2 its just my oppinion but i believe in volume not presure.I know it works gret for some I havent seen many problems with duals but ive seen problems with %overs And im not trying to start anything with those that like them JMO

What no head porting?

Thanks for the reasoning guys... I really appreciate the input.. I'm still a little "green" behind the ears so all advice I can get will help. Been a little under the weather so i haven't checked this in a couple days.
