Will a Torque Converter and valve body be enough?
Ok, getting ready to order my parts for my tranny before i start bombing my truck and figured I would list out my upgrades I'm planning on and get some input on wether or not I'm making the right choices or not. So first off. My upgrades I plan on buying.
Airdog (100 or 150) <--- Could use some insight on the differences
Injection pump (Anyone know of a good one?)
50 HP injectors (To avoid having to upgrade my turbo at the moment.)
Gauges
Smarty Jr.
Those are what i have plans, If anyone has something i need to add to the list to prevent something from breaking please speak up. I'm new to the whole bombing scene.
But now to the REAL question. Will a Torque converter and valve body be enough for the upgrades listed above. Going to be going through Goerend aswell.
Thanks in advance guys!

If your not making BIG numbers a 100 will be fine and recommended. A smarty POD would be a better bet so you can grow with it. Just get a bag of parts "Arson III" All you need for up to 700hp. You can make 550hp with stock injectors. If you want to keep your mpg don't go bigger than 50hp sticks!

NOt anymore and really not so big wiht a common rail these trucks rea DYNO HP queens.
to the Original poster. Good question as Im looking for this same anawer right now. I agree though if you wnat bigger power later get a smarty not a JR. Jr's are great for just a basic DD pull your camper mod. You'll just have to keep the smarty turned down untill you have afford a turbo studs the works
