Talking Starting my winter build sheet!

I already have plugs, wires, cap, and rotor plate replaced. I have a full exhaust in, cold air intake, Hypertech Tuner, E fan, have 180 stat. Im looking at Winter fixes and parts. Im thinking 1.7 HS rockers, 52mm fastman, plenum, and possibly hughes air gap manifold. Im also going to make a custom front and back bumper and light bar for extra fun. Anything else I should do or add or change give me input please. Thanks

If you have a 5.2, then you will want to get the 50MM fastman.

ALso if you have the 5.9 and like low end power, get the 50mm fastman. I have that on my 5.9 (from my 5.2).

Other than that, the 1.7s and those fab projects seem good. Maybe brake shoes (especially if you have never changed them). And brake pads. my truck drives so much better with the brake shoes that i had replaced and when I replaced my brake pads.

I have a 5.9 I do some towing but I figured if I do rockers plenum and intake manifold Im thinking the 52mm would be good Im mostly looking for power and lots of it. I have newer front pads and rotors back ones should be changed. Im running 32 11.5 15 so my brakes take a beating trying to stop. As far as Cam goes Im ganna try and avoid big jobs for a while till I get a second truck so Im not laid up for a while. But it would be a sweet add. lol
