Runs better, gets rid of the leaky fuel bowl, slightly better fuel mileage I'm sure there is more

Wow.....what did you do with all your fancy parts .....I'm not trying to build something badass I just want a good functional towrig that I don't have to worry about. I'm not going to the track or trying to show off.

last one i did had a boost reference on the pressure regulator.
i set base pressure at 70 psi then hooked to full manifold pressure. ran sooooo much better than when it was a static 70 psi. almost as much of a change as going from mechanical to electric.

I got a gauge for the regulator if that is what you need

How do you " hook to full manifold pressure" ?

It's a early 99 aluminum with with CAC tubes. Those banks are overrated and overpriced.

Bolt on a turbo spider and mount the cooler run pipes $150

If I was you I'd throw a wildman chip on it and watermeth. If I remember your truck already has a downpipe. Like the 1.15 housing on turbo because once you get more fuel it'll run cooler and pull harder than a .84. If it breaks 1200 degrees then do an intercooler.
