    So ill start off by saying I just got a WB-store full size intercooler kit off the interwebs.

    Anyhow, I see they offer a machined LIM for added benefits. now my questions is, is this LIM required or no? whats the benefits ect..?

    Second, where do you guys believe the best place to locate the intercooler pump is?

    Any other basic advice on install?

    Mods are: plog, plugs, wires, intake, dp, full exhaust, tune, tstat, and now IC. What would you guys recommend for pulley size? and yes I do have a way to scan.

    3.2", buy a wideband.

    Tune it.

    Stock injectors should work.

    If not, upgrade and run a smaller pulley when you buy some headers.

    I wouldn't pay for the lim you could always do your own light P&P. I would take that money and use it elsewhere.

    You're better off now buying some legit fuel logs and putting that $80 towards them.

    Same thing just from separate vendors. If your on a budget either get modified fuel rails or if you got the coin prj fuel rails or you could modify and make your own fuel rails.

    IIRC the ZZP modified rails go over the S/C and the wbody store one goes under the T/B. Could be wrong but when I was researching I believe that's what I came across. If someone has wbody store rails please correct me if I'm wrong.

    For reference:
