I was able to slip my stock auto with a 6. From what I understand, each truck is different. If you get a plate, don't be too surprised if you start having trans issues.

i would suggest only moving the plate forward and turning the star wheel since you are running a stock auto trans...dodge stock autos dont hold up to much abuse...just my .02

i have a stock auto and i got a 12 slid all the way and some stage two injectors from pensacola and for 200 bucks it was a good power gain. if you get a tc and a valve body. even a shift kit would help. star wheel really only does pre turbo boost i have been trying different things with mine and the boost elbow if you loosin it up (towards enginE)more black smoke be4 the turbo lites TURN IT TO TIGHTEN THE SPRING AND IT LITES UP FASTER and made more boost with mine
