Beautiful truck by the way. Sonic Blue is an awesome color. Cosmetically I'm planning on either a set or 20" or 22" Forgelines or DPE's, billet grills, painted tonneau cover w/ducktail spoiler, and a roll pan. It's still a little ways off though, so plans may change.

No, had a built motor. I was at 457/549 SAE (475/571 STD) on the stock block and KB (16 psi). Then I bumped the boost up and exceeded the stock fuel system, lost the motor.
475 rwhp is the absolute limit in my opinion, and even then I'd suggest a bigger injector.
I had the painted cover (no lip) and a roll pan also. They look good on those trucks.
