Holy cow... Don't waste any time getting a pyro on there. You don't want to cook the engine before you get to "bomb" the heck out of it. I'm cheap so I picked them up here and there off ebay, they don't match but I really don't care. Function, not form is what I'm after.

I haven't got the pyro yet because the truck's still stock, and I'm still broke. How much of a concern are EGT's on a stock motor?

I have both a 2nd gen and 3rd gen intake horns for sale, please contact me directly if interested.

I got the them both from ebay and will make a deal on them.

You should be Ok if it's stock. Is the lock ring still on the fuel screw?

Yeah, the lock ring is still on. Looking at getting a pyro this week, probably off a junked OTR truck, if that works out.

Will the plastic tank PS intercoolers handle 30+ psi of boost?

Don't the PS only put out like 12-15 psi of boost?

g/f's boss has a chipped PSD that peaks around 22psi. I'd look for metal tanks if you can stand to wait.

I bought one from PDR, cost about $700. The tubes are 3-4 times as big as original. Works good so far!

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.
