$3000$
 
So I sold my other cummins, and long story short now my wife gives me an ultimatum...

So "if" I did do this what would.....................An extra $3000$ DO???

My thoughts::s:

Industrial Injection Vp-44 (have to have)
Isso Pro Ev gauge set
Fass Titanium 150 lift pump
Valair 600 hp clutch
Edge Comp box

All going on a 2002 Cummins 6 speed 2wd with 75 hp injectors, BHAF...

What IF you spent the money?
What would you do?
Whats the best option?
What else is there?

Whats your ultimate goal? sounds like you got your ducks in a row... maybe work on the wife, make it $4000 :D

Dodgemanstan 06-21-2012 07:53 AM

Ultimate goal is a great looking truck that is a daily driver and has HP when I want it, reliable, good fuel mileage, and a weekend play toy! Kinda everything bundled into one awesome truck. I don't care if it makes 500 or 1000 hp I just want a nice fun truck! Idk how else to put it...

Industrial Injection Vp-44 (have to have)
Why is this a must have?

How exhaust? Engines are basically air pumps, the easier the air flows the more efficient they are.

I recently did a cam in my truck, and I am very, VERY impressed with the results. About $500, and a weekend.

If I were to redo it all, here is what I would do knowing what I do now:
Edge Comp
Mechanical Gauges
150HP injectors
Compound Turbos
FASS 150 HD
5" Exhaust

Dodgemanstan 06-21-2012 12:19 PM

Well the list is what I "think" I plan to get... The vp44 is dead=0216 but drives fine after it warms up...Then gets dead pedal here and there, so must have...

I know I want gauges.
I know I need a lift pump
I know I need a better clutch to hold the power
As for the chip...IDK the easiest and best way to go for hp...

So my list has some must haves the vp and lift pump but the others I'm open to options...
Me and Luke (Diesel Dawgs) have been talking and is supposed to help me out on the deal... But I stil want to make SURE I'm getting what I need or should have for my 02.

Its not all the time you get 3000$ to drop on a rig...Its alot of money!

Any comment appreciated!!!

RollinCoal99 06-21-2012 03:55 PM

i would Do
Guages
5in exhaust
200hp injectors
FASS 150
quad Adrenaline
Reman VP44

Dodgemanstan 06-21-2012 04:18 PM

Well thats a good choice but I only have $3000 to play with and what you listed would be way over that price... But I wish I could Get all that!!

empty wallet 06-21-2012 09:01 PM

What you originally listed vs. your budget is pretty much spot on in my opinion... only thing I'd do different is find a used edge comp and save a few hundred bucks. Get the supporting mods taken care of and replace the vp and you can do any assortment of mods theres hundreds of things to try out there.

Nutty Jeeps 06-21-2012 10:49 PM

I would also say an Edge Comp for the chip

Dodgemanstan 06-22-2012 09:12 AM

Yea I think the comp box is the one...Does it stack with anything at all?

He would need a Turbo with 200hp injectors.

Your list is what I will do over time.

Next for me is a fuel pump, and then upgrade the 47re.

Then the injectors and hp stuff.

Looks like your off to a good start man. First things first clutch/guages/ lift pump. And if your VP is dead then a new one of those too :ouch: Unfortunately all that probably just took up the 3k budget you have :argh:

Farmboy 2.0 06-22-2012 12:36 PM

I would do VP, Clutch, and Lift Pump and Gauges first. If you plan on towing stay away from the big Valair single disc in my opinion. If you dont tow and are just daily driving then i wouldnt shy away from that clutch at all. If you do tow id look into their organic towing dual disc and or a south bend 3250.

Dodgemanstan 06-22-2012 01:04 PM

Thanks for the input guys! Yes the VP, LP, and gauges are a must right now...Idk if I really want to spend the money for the clutch and comp box right now... Its really hard to just spend it even though I really want to...If you know what I mean... I might have to get the first 3 and wait on the chip and clutch.... :cry:

Diesel Dawgs Performance 06-22-2012 01:46 PM

If you have the cash get the clutch before the chip as you will not be able to use the added power of the Comp if your clutch is slippin.


Luke

Dodgemanstan 06-22-2012 02:09 PM

Yea for sure! It might be something I buy together as a set...

Technically for the truck to run properly you would need at least a 64mm turbo but my buddy ran 250's and quad adren on stock hx35 with a 5 speed for a year. just never beat on it and watched egts. and once in awhile would roll some coal.

wedge67 06-24-2012 05:46 PM

what cam did you get? and do you think it made it more eficient?

photomonkey 06-26-2012 01:35 PM

$3k sounds like a lot but when a new VP on the list it doesn't go far... I had a blue chip in one truck and liked it a lot... Then gauges... Then the clutch and gofast toys. Gotta build the infrastructure first. :)

Sarafin 06-26-2012 04:18 PM

I fell like there is a "starter package" for these 24 V beasts Haha. I Did what everyone has suggested for only ~$1700. I hope to do exhaust and then 125 horse injectors and a Phat shaft 62 from DAP. I would highly recommend the Quadzilla with adrenaline. However I have no experience with the Edge box but I know it has a very good reputation. But neither here not there I Am MORE than pleased With my truck at this point in time.

Dodgemanstan 06-26-2012 08:08 PM

Well I have the Vp ordered from II and the Fass Titan LP and some gauges on the way... They will be happily installed this weekend!!!

redneck_cummins 06-27-2012 11:53 PM

He'd have to send it to edge for a updated harness to go 99 to 02. I know because i went from 98.5 to 01. If he gets it for the right price though its pretty inexpensive.

Dodgemanstan 06-29-2012 02:23 PM

Well you can pm me a price if ya want to... I just received my final package. I got a new vp from II a FASS titan which was an easy install last night, and a nice set of gauges... Vp and gauges tonight! Wahhooo! So happy to have it now...

Now I need to save for a clutch and chip!!
