Moved to the correct section, also, without knowing what class you will be running in, have no idea what the regulations might be, What is your budget? Are you going full out modified pulling only truck or what?

Rules. For anyone interested.

The only stipulations they have is the motor had to have come in the truck from the factory...... They mention nothing about modifications. They actually do specifically mention headers are allowed, but, you still need the full exhaust system.....

So, first things first. Make sure the engine is currently running properly. All maintenance caught up, plenum fixed, timing chain replaced. THEN you can start in on the mods....

For a pulling truck, I would do:
Long tube headers, full dual exhaust, 2.5 inch pipe. (with X or H pipe.)
1.7 Ratio Harland sharp roller rockers.
Kegger mod, or, M1 2bbl intake.
Get rid of the death flash. (tuner. Flyin' Ryan, or Hemifever.)

Better heads. EQ Monster Magnums would be good here. Given that you are going for power in the upper RPM range, I would be tempted to go with the 2.02 intake valves as well. (and this would REALLY play nice with the M1 intake.....)

Really, how berserk do you want to get?

we dynoed eq heads and the magnum R/T are every bit as good if not better. awesome design. i have a pair brand new with 1.92/1.60 that flows awesome with my M1 dual plane intake P5007381. i dont have enough posts to list it for sale but they are listed on just about all mopar sites and facebook mopar parts sites. we were using them for circle track asphalt modified and rules changed. these are brand new.

No provisions for injectors on the intake. Won't do folks in this section any good.
