What transmission, axle ratio, and tire height do you have? If stock, you might be better off with their 383 Cruiser.

Also, are you good to go with a fuel pump and return line for the EFI?
...I already put way more money than I thought I was gonna put in this truck, so I was gonna have my stock 350 TH trans gone through, But got lucky and ran into a guy at the shop that had a TCI 350 TH trans ready to go, it could handle an over 600 HP engine, He was selling it for 1000 dollars, I couldn't pass that up, As for my 12 bolt rearend it had a 3.73 in it, went through the rearend and changed it out for an Eaton 3.42. As for my wheels I went with taller rims, 17" and stuck with the 6 lug, tires are 275/60R17. Forgot to ask Smeding Performance about the Fuel pump, I guess I'll give them another call, BTW how many miles does your buddy have on his engine ?
