OK, first tech post on here so be gentle. I'm not going to make it a big one. Plain and simple I want my truck to run mid to low 13s, get me to work everyday, and pull my 6000 lb car and trailer combo. I wanted to do an Edge Juice w/Attitude in order to forgo tradition gauges, and get all that extra stuff it features. However, I've heard several negative things about the Edge on CR trucks. I've been leaning more towards a TST, and add a Smarty stack later on. The bad thing is I need trans work first. What are some suggestions? I'm on a pretty slim budget, so keep that in mind. I have a HTT 62/13SS turbo from my 12V that I'm going switch the compressor on to work with the CR (going up to 64 too). Have plastic end tanks, so a HTT intercooler is also on the list. The 12V had a FASS on it, and I'm going to figure out what it'll take to use it on the CR truck instead of buying a new setup (unless someone wants to buy my 12V FASS from me). Also electing to use a Hellmann tank sump instead of going to the top of the tank to draw fuel. As for intakes I like the Injen/Amsoil one, but it's pretty pricey. Leaning towards S&B, but I'll go with the dry filter then replace it with an AEM dry-flow when it's time. Currently have a sewn together exhaust with pieces from my 12V truck which will probably stay on until I have the cash for a nice 5". Go ahead and give me your opinions.

 

10 to 15k and your there!!

 

Build the tranny. Im running 13's with a 62, smarty, intake and a small pump mod. That in a mega cab and still pull my camper without ever changing the tune. Sticks, nitrous and another tune on the smarty going in shooting for 11's

 

took me a 500 used smarty and a valair clutch and i ran 13.20's at 5 differnt tracks across the country, stock everything else(unless you need tranny)

 

well, weight reduction would be a good start....

 

Trans stuff sounds like my first obstacle, then the rest is simple. What parts need to go in the trans to handle this kind of power and driving? Is it something I can do myself, or is it complicated enough to need a pro tranny guy? I've done a few powerglides, but this is a little more involved I'm sure.

 

i ran 13.8's with a bone stock 06' with a diablo tune and puck stack... put 28k miles on that tranny before building it with the twins.... i have the vids on youtube but i cant access them at work...

 

Here is a link to my truck running and it was bone stock with smarty and clutch, and look at the clock, its blurry but you can see 13.25 and that was no spray or anything, it aint hard to get a CR in 13's if my stick can do it and this was in oct 08
