I've read about alot of performance upgrades and understand they are based on goals so I am looking for some direction on my rig (check signature). I've been but by the horsepower bug and would like to get into the 600-700hp range. With that being said I grind my *** off for my $$ like everyone else. Id like to do transmission upgrades, and added fuel filtration. What order should I start prepping this beast? I have 200k- rebuilt 48re tranny has about 30k on it and I'm noticing it starting to downshift/hunt slightly. Should I switch to EFI live and ditch my EJWA? Any input would be welcomed!

 

I hope you put a TQ and VB in it! I don't see your sig!?

 

My fat finger unchecked the sig box- i bought this truck stock so there is no VB or TQ currently.

 

EFI or Smarty do the tranny work first! CAll Goerend with your questions and they will get you the parts you need! have your credit card ready! Talk to Jeff tell him Andy CA sent you!

 

This is one thing I'm caught up on. I have a six speed manual and have been asking if should start there, but have heard it can take a programmer. Is this true?

 

No.... You will need a clutch

 

Okay after more research I have a basic plan in mind - I'm going to take your advice and call goerends for TC and VB on tranny- motor wise this is where I'm headed- pyro, boost, tranny, rail pressure gauges. Boost fooler, EFI live, and 70hp injectors, turbo is TBD (reading more to find best one for setup- make a suggestion!).

For fuel supply I'm unsure should I go with airdog 150? Or could I do a 3/8 big line kit with a glacier filer and feed it enough fuel? ( I like the idea of airdog filtration but live in Tx so water separation isn't an issue.)

From what I've read this should be in the 500hp ballpark- big part is the EFI tune

 

Would 70hp nozzles work until I pull the trigger on injectors also

 

Nozzles don't fix worn out injectors! look into the fuelab pumps best out there! But a raptor would work fine and they are easy to put in and put your own 2 micron filter inline! Depending if you tow a silver 62 or 64 would be good

 

that clutch is good to around 500hp
