The cheapest and smartest thing he can do is install a fuel pressure guage, pyrometer, boost gauge and a good lift pump. Without those items any other modifications are foolish.

There really is no free power on a 24V - its either a bigger badder fuel box or bigger badder injectors or both. A Smarty is also a nice addition which also gives you a code reader and the ability to clear codes but it is far from free.

truth is, dont be cheap. span out all your upgrades and do it right. protect yourself with gauges first and a good lift pump, fass, raptor, whatever just get a new lift pump. start saving some money and do your trans, once you add power the 47re will blow up, it destiny. Protect it first than build it is my motto.
