Default $3000$

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:

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?

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...

Why is this happening? Is there clicks on here or what... Getting kinda old
usually you can see more than that on a topic.

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

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!!!

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.
