Ordered the gaskets from Isuzuparts.net for $41 shipped and they were on my porch within 36 hours. I was impressed with the speed of delivery.

This isn't my first s/c install and I've learned and I'm not expecting many surprises with this kit. In fact, with no FMU or in-line fuel pump to install, this should be quite easy in comparison.

I just hope I'm not too disappointed with the performance. I have some other complimentary mods in mind but the warranty will go out the window.

The other mods outside of the PV muffler and cone filter:

Pulleyboys.com - These guys will make one-off pulleys for us if the Nissan Xterra ones won't work with this M62. They also sell press on pulley removers if needed. I haven't checked to see if the Alpine is keyed or press fit yet.

Granatelli Motorsports MAF - the Isuzu 3.5L uses the same one as the Impalla SS which is available at Summit Racing for $329. (PN 350114-C 2002-03 Axiom/Vehicross - 3.5L - Black w/Cold Air Tuning) This is a good mod, I run one on my other s/c vehicle.

SMC Alcohol/Water injection kit - This is probably the best/most inexpensive water injection kit I have seen and has more features than Aquamist and also has interior status and controls.

Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump - This will overdrive your fuel pump only at boost (adustable trigger point). Many Toyota TRD truck people running Eaton s/c like this mod.

UNICHIP - I have "heard" that the Isuzu 3.2 version will work with the 3.5L but I'm still researching. It will also run around a grand and require dyno time to tune.

I have a suspicion that I'll be a pioneer with these mods if I take it this far. I'm definitely going to get the Granatelli MAF and the others may follow if I'm not happy with the performance.
