why wouldnt he see a diference? its going to turn it into an F-1 car but the AFM swap has shown good results and so has the newer intake swap so put together it should be quite noticeable, and hopefully get him some MPG's too

Ok guys here is the story. I took my truck to my work and ran some test on it. I have a cracked intake manifold, a blown head gasket, my timing chain cover has holes, my exhaust is being held on with clothing hangers, my exhaust manifold whistles from pin holes all over it, and the dyno says I have 55hp with 65ft/lbs of torque. Now does anyone think I just might see an improvement?(BTW I will be smoging and dynoing after the swap)

Yea the previous owner didn't really do much in the way of maintenance. In the first 6 months I had it clutch crapped out, brakes failed, half shaft started popping and the engine start bathing it self in fluids. When my coolant looked like a whipped chocolate and smell like eggs, I knew something was very wrong

Ok now back to topic, I have heard alot about intake and that stuff, but what about injectors? exhaust? plugs? wire cap and rotor? any suggestion there

You can use the stock injectors, use a Denso cap, rotor, plugs, and plug wires. For exhaust, a good header and 2 1/4'' exhaust will work good.

He should still be ok with the stock injectors, but it would be a good idea to send the injectors out to be cleaned and rebuilt.

From what ive read here, Thorley headers are a good part, many here have them on there trucks. If Downey was still in business i would recomend one of there headers to you, that`s what i have on my 4Runner, and it wasn`t cheap but its a very good quality header.
