Default New cummins. Got some ideas. Need input

Ok so I just bought I 01 2500. I've only ever messed with 6.0 powerstroke so I need Ideas. I've got around 1500$ to play with. I'm thinking a quadzilla with adrenaline, boost fooler and some sort of intake and maybe some larger injectors. Any thoughts fellas?? I'd like to get as muchmuch power as I can without risking my tranny before I have the money to upgrade.

lift pump, and gauges, or a box that has the gauges built in. Then start added the other stuff. I personally would add the other stuff until after you have the tranny built. JMHO.

A good lift pump, quad adren, exhaust, and BHAF will eat up that $1500 and give you a significant difference in the truck.

If you don't do anything to the tranny, you at least HAVE to do an aftermarket lift pump

Gauges and lift pump before anything else. You auto or manual? The autos can only hold so much power for so long after being hard on them. Same goes for the stock clutch on manuals.

aftermarket lift pump to protect your injection pump

do exhaust when you change out for bigger turbo or injectors. not much to gain there except noise. you can spend $200-300 on better mods at this stage. The stock turbo is such a huge restriction there is no real need to talk about change in exhaust.
