Good choice.
If you can...and if you enjoy some increased performance....see if they can upgrade the cam in the engine from stock to get more hp and torque.....new/different heads would be an optional choice, but definitely the cam upgraded from the stock 'truck' cam.
Nothing radical or necessarily lumpy and hard to tune, but definitely higher lift and to increase flow a bit so you get a nice torque bump with added hp.
.....just my two bits.

All Good
