What do you want... HP or smoke?

Injectors will give you HP, and without the correct sized turbo smoke as well...

Forget about the smoke part and lets build some HP...

How much do you want to spend?

TS chip is a start and will get you some smoke, and a total of about 280-300hp to the rear wheels

You have any gauges yet?

You dont need the front diff, unless you want it!

You need to get a pyrometer, and a boost gauge to add to your tranny and rear diff temps. Do not hop up a Diesel without a pyro gauge.

If you want you can look like my truck...
