bulletproof checklist/advice please

[lowrider284]

Going to get bulletproofed in the up coming months and was looking to start ordering all the components now a few at a time so my wallet wont feel it as much. So far im going with: (BESIDES OEM COMPONENTS)

-ARP studs
-EGR delete (sinister/RCD) which one?
-blue spring update
-4 gallons of CAT ELC coolant
-Sinister coolant filter---should i run a coolant filter with the CAT ELC or just if i continue using gold coolant (im still under warranty) and should i install before or after bulletproofing?

-Should i use restore + with my flush before i send it in? also what coolant should i replace it with between the flush and entering the shop? i dont feel like wasting money on another fillup of CAT ELC if their just going to drain it when they replace the oil cooler.

Thanks

[kcoyner]

Stash a few shucks away to check and surface the heads.

[lowrider284]

Yup i already figured on that forgot to post it.

I just got all this done to my truck. I have the RCD delete and have done a lot of research on different deletes. Looks like you're on the right track, good luck!

[Tuscany]

Ipr gen 2 egr delete is the best out there.

[snafu!]

I'm not sure on your plan for flushing, but if you are going to use restore do it way before the new oil cooler gets installed. Let the old oil cooler catch everything then go in with a new one.

That's a pretty impressive list you got going on there Bryan.

I never said the RCD was the best, I was just telling him which one I got. After researching and talking to guys who've used the different ones on the market, I only heard a few negative things about a couple of them. The IPR and RCD were not one of them. No complaints on either. The RCD was $70 cheaper, main reason for me going that route.

Found a sinister egr delete brand new in box locally on craigslist for $250. Maybe ill see if i can get that one for $200-225
