Default What should i do next?

I have an air intake, straight pipe exhaust, guages and a ts 6 pos chip. What would be the best thing to do now to keep my truck running good and not melt or fry anything?

It's a turbo compressor wheel.

definitely a good upgrade to what you already have , I would say you would see a decent gain in hp and throttle response.

i would not waste money on a wicked wheel. it depends on what your goals are. trans upgrade would be a good start for more power down the road. your at the point where injectors are your next power upgrade, but the extra power would be hard on your trans. so its a double edged sward

the wicked wheel actually flows less by 1 lb/min, but it reduces surging. There are some billet options that will increase flow.

Injectors or water/meth will get you more power. trans will need some help for sure.

I would never run water/meth as a form of power either. You can not control when the meth ignites 100% and can do a lot of damage if your not careful. I would run straight water but only as a form of cooling if I was racing, or pulling heavy.
