Default need opinions on next upgrades

my dads got an 06 megacab auto w/ an edge juice/attitude hot unlock, afe intake and a 5inch exhaust.

He likes the power, it made 370 on its last dyno run but like most of us is always lookin for more.

We're thinkin about a bag-O parts for the cp3,a set of 90 horse tips from ddp and a Fass 150HD...

he use's this thing for mostly just driving only tow's on occasion

so my question is what size/brand turbo would yall recomend.

Before he gets all that I suggest he look into a built tranny.

What's the point of getting opinions for hard parts when obviously his tranny want hold it? Seems kind of pointless IMO. Address the biggest issue first and then go from there.

What is your long term goals with the truck? If you want to play HARD with the truck and still DD it, I believe a CR can be easily streetable with a 66mm. If you just want a little more power to drive around the town then I would be going after a 64mm. With the 64 you wouldnt even need to mess with the injectors to have some fun and make power. You might want to start thinking about them with the 66. Give Engineered Diesel a call for all your turbo needs. Chris will point you in the direction you need to go.

Commonrail I would probably go with either a Silver 64 or 66 from Industrial Injection. Another option would be to run a twin setup with the stocker along with an S400 or so, probably would actually be about the same price or a little more.
