Well Im still thinking wether or not to convert to a manual, but I was wondering if what I should to next to my truck. I was looking at a bigger turbo and intercooler. I am wanting around 400-500 hp if possible. Its a daily driver still and i dont really want a butt load of smoke. Thank you guys

 

How is your trans? Other than that I'd say a 62/65-12 and you'll be there with tuning.

 

I had the transmission rebuilt last summer, and a buddy told me to bump up the timing to 17 or so degrees. Where could I get that turbo?

 

Was it rebuilt stock or with better parts? I'm not super up on my autos but I know they need valve bodies better bands clutches planetary and input shafts to handle any amount of thrashing. I would contact engineered diesel about their turbos.

 

It was rebuilt with better parts, I dont remember everything on it. But would a turbo and intercooler help? I have injectors and going to mess with my afc when I get home

 

The intercooler will help some but until you start flowing more air than a 64 wheel the stock will suffice. The biggest gain you will see with and upgraded intercooler would be egt reduction.

 

Ok so get that turbo first, then work my way for an intercooler?

 

with a billit tc and vb you could do 400hp depends how you treat it 500 idk it would be about the same price to get a full built trani by the time you buy the parts and labore for the swap
