rnr, when you get ready to turn it up some, let me know. I'm pretty sure the club be having another wrench day in the fall.
We can do it then, or wait until the spring wrench day.
You can get all the info here, www.upstatebombers.com That's the NY club website. We have some cool smilies too.

Cam plug is in the rear of the block, on the cam galley. Like a soft plug, little different. They are just a dish shape, like you pushed the center down with a finger. The new ones have an o-ring you put in, then the plug seals against that. Install with some loctite, then whack with a hammer.

The o-ring is designed for use in the STORM block if I am not mistaken. Any concerns using it in the old style block?

Not that I know of. Signal 73 on TDR had a plug put in his, it lasted about 2 days before it started to leak. Back to the shop, and they put in the new style. No problems since. He's got twins and makes big power with it too.

No one makes a triple pod for our truck but here is one that i've heard fits very well with some trimming and shaving

If your looking for the most power possible, on a two grand budget, buy a torque converter, probably a shift kit, a turbo compressor upgrade(which can still be had from gillet diesel, gauges and the pod listed above, and max out the pump. Also get a governer spring and put a valet switch on there. If you want to keep egt's low and the budget small, don't worry about injectors. The non intercooled truck injectors move plenty of fuel. If your confused about anything i said just ask about it and i'll explain it more clearly. What i just said above is my personal opinion of what i would do with a two grand budget and other may do it differently.

P.S. Make a BHAF(Big honking air filter) set up. Much cheaper than buying an after market setup. If you have welding skills, do your wallet a favor and make your own exhaust.

If you're going to go towing, I would put an ebay water to air intercooler on it, and also get a lift pump for reliability.
