muddin_dude. Only 1600, puss. haha jus messin wit ya.
If its going to be a cheap project get an older 12v and secure the KDP. You can fix the KDp for little or no money if you already have the drill bit and tap. Then all you need is a cheap set screw.
After you do that the 12v is pretty good.
For fueling mods you'd most likely be wanting the following to do it on the cheap.
370 marine injectors, can be had for about 400 bucks sometimes cheaper.
Grind you own fuel plate. You can grind it to a 0 plate or buy a #10 plate for over $100.
191 Laser cut delivery valves. These are under $200 I believe and will really help out the fuel.
3,000RPM Governor spring kit or if you add 60# exhaust valve springs you can run a 4500RPM Governor spring kit. Again its another cheap modification.
Then adjust the screw
Now you have plenty of fuel and RPMs. YOu do not need to worry about an aftermarket lift pump on the 12 valves as the stocker will support quite a bit of power but if you want you can always add one.
However with all of that fuel you will have a smokey truck that runs hot.
so....
A Different turbo will help clean it up. You can do a modded HX40 on the cheap or run an industril injection Silver bullet which I believ is about $2,100.
The Exhaust manifolds on these trucks are prone to cracking so a 3 piece manifold from ATS or PDIs new maniflod will solve this issue and flow much better.
Add a better clutch and away you go.
with the exception of the turbo all of these mods are failry cheap just require some labor.
as far as money goes were not all rich. I myself am a student with little money, but take the time to go out and get sponsorships. Right now I have a total of 7 sponsors totaling $11,000 in sponsorship money. BUt keep in mind you have to use it for competition and do good. If your not going to be pulling or racing it I dont think you will get any money. If you do plan on making it a competition vehicle you also have to keep the sponsors happy. I myself Keep the sponsors updated with how the truck is performing, how the buildup is coming, where the next pull is, and at each pull I will pay their entry fee wither into the pits or into the grandstand and even grill out for them too before the pull if I have time. At the end of the year I have a party for them will recaps from the season and door prizes. I also supply them with my pulling teams merchandise such as stickers, shirts, sweatshirts and hats. In the end they end up very hapy and are willing to contribute more money to make the truck perform better.
Good luck with the build.
