Performance is the goal... I have been gathering parts for a while now. All that's left is some injectors, some exhaust and intake plumbing and a tuner/tune.
I'm sure I will run into some other things, but I think I have the bulk of it. (Turbo, map sensor, blow off valve, wastegate, oil pump.)

There are a couple of others but it's still awesome
Eric has assembled an impressive parts list and I can't wait to see it run. It will be sick.

I bought an STS oil pump. I didnt want to run into issues, so I figured it was worth the extra cash to be sure it would deliver.
The turbo I am planning on running, is a Holset from a CTD that I have to send out to get rebuilt. (I got it cheap from a DSM site back when I had my car, but it needs to be rebuilt.)
I should also mention that I still need to pickup my wideband and gauges. I dont want to steal this thread from blown, so if anyone has interest, I can be reached via PM. Once I start my build, I will get a progress log started. Right now its just a bunch of parts in a box. (or 5 boxes, but whatever, right? lol)
Don't want to be a downer but just wanted to be sure, you guys are aware that the lowboys are made by AIM industries right? I looked at them before but I don't trust that company enough to use their stuff, still hoping Sway-a-way might come through with something for us.

I know Rich, AIM, Air bag it and whatever orther name they have, lol. I've been talking to the Dakota guys on the custom-dak site and they are really happy with them. Everything negative I've heard has been in regards to their air bag systems. I haven't heard anything bad about their static setups.
I was in the same boat about trusting this product. It comes down to trimming my coils or trying the lowboys. I'm going to give it a shot. looks like it will be Nitro Drop 2s for the back and lowboys for the front.
Eric, your truck will be sick man. Glad you will be putting all that performance into a Dakota vice a DSM
Don't hurt man, only teasing

I am still trying to come up with a 6bolt awd talon for a DD while the dak is down for its make over... I dont want to have to worry about a ride to work or for parts if the truck cant be running in a day (IE on a day off from work)
the only difference is, I wont be sinking money into the DSM to make it fast. (yet... lol)

Why do that when you can make your Dakota fast, and ride low...
