Intercooler really should be first on the list.  Strengthen the core first.
They were in order! lol

Not gonna lie, this, a CHRA upgrade, and HPFP are all on my "wish" list.

Matt is finalizing his turbo upgrades as well...
Should be available soon. $1800 price
Tag for them... he has a guy running his prototypes in CO (DA of 6000+) running 12.5's reliably with no issues...

Sooo I have turbos and the IC money set aside... will be interesting...

As far as RD Gearhead is currently working on Turbos, IC's, Cams(part of a motor build)and some other goodies.....

I'm going to worth remotely with him through a local shop I trust to attempt to develop a solution to strengthen the PTU...

GH is really doing some cool stuff...

I've always liked Matt's work.  I'd have his tunes on my truck if I didn't already had tunes on it.

I'm aware, but at this point the truck is pretty much been regulated to plow/work duty only,  only other time I drive it is in bad weather.

That's impressive.  I've been stuck in the 13's here in Utah. Our DA is similar.  My turbo's can only sustain 12.8-13.0 psi after 4500rpm.

Maybe I'm blind or stupid or both but I can't find a price point anywhere on this. Have they spoken about it? I just want to have the money ready the minute they go on sale. Like Bdp I don't mind paying full price to help with the R&D costs. Any shop that's willing to help push this platform forward, I'm willing to pay a little more for their parts. I'm thinking this is my winter upgrade over doing methanol.

Do both.  Maybe the IC first.  And I don't see a price either.  I emailed Gearhead and havent received a response, although its only been a couple days. 
The IC will be a nice way to keep everything cooler and make some more power but its not adding octane like Meth.  Do both.  And with their powers combined theyre Captain ..Plane...SHO 😆

The IC and Turbos are not listed yet... they should be available soon. And prices are not finalized... Matt has said the IC will be under $800(so 799.99) and the turbos he is targeting $1800.

Earlier this year he thought $650 but now he is saying less than $800... so some where in there is what I guess..

The first batch is for a 100 of them. 50 of which he is selling directly through GH and the other 50 will be sold to distributors....

So don't be surprised if a few of the Ecoboost big name shops all of a sudden start selling IC's...

I think EPP already announced he will be offering them as well..

GearHead responded to my email, they didn't quote a price but said after SEMA they will be released and at this point there isn't a group of buyers.  I was asking to be in the first group.  I thanked them for the update as well as for investing time and money to develop new parts for the platform.
