Arrow next best mod??

well i want to do more to my truck but im not sure where to start. i have the edge comp box, better fuel system (not great) leveling kit on 35's, and hx45 turbo and an upgraded tranny that can handle the HP. i want to do more but i dont know what, i drive my truck daily and yes i do like to romp on it and i do amateur pulls but thats about it. i was thinking air dog 150, injectors, intake/exhaust manifold, smarty, head studs etc. any opinions on what my next step should be??

Injectors is a good choice next and some head studs while your at it. I would not waste the money on intake horn and if your exhaust manifold isn't cracked run it till you need one. What trans mods do you have? Synthetics are always a good upgrade too.

ALL GOOD IDEAS..

1. Fuel - Without good fuel you are setting yourself up for trouble.
2. Manifold - I'm running the ATS 3-piece and it's awesome. Your EGS will drop too with your bigger turbo.
3. Studs - If you start boosting past 50PSI, you are looking at floating the head. Studs will keep this in place.
4. Sticks - After you are fueled, flowing exhaust and studded, make some more power with the sticks. I'm running DDR 100's, but would consider Edge and certainly ATS.

My first upgrade would be an Airdog or FASS System. Give me a call sometime and we discuss this and your different options.
