Default NEW TO DIESEL I want to tow the mustangs to the strip,then race down it in my diesel!

Hello, I am new to the whole diesel truck world. I work with a business that a lot of direct accounts catering to mustangs but has starting been starting to expand. I work direct with AFR, ATI, Accufab, Bassani Xhaust, C&L, Canton, Corbeau, Jesel, Mac, Probe, Procomp Electronics, Venom, RC Engineering, RPM engine internals, SARD, Trick Flow, SPEC, 255LPH Performance Fuel Pumps, and a lot of others. I got my 05 powerstroke so I can tow 2 shop mustangs to the drag strip, then unhitch it from the trailer and race my tow vehicle down the track. I want tow truck be faster than some peoples race cars! I also live in southern California so I also tow a 30 foot enclosed Sand Tech trailer out to Glamis. For suspension all I am doing is the 2 ½ leveling kit and shocks in the front so I can run 35's. This truck is pretty much going to be my daily driver however I could drive one of the mustangs if my diesel was to break or need work. Its a 4 door 4x4 black 2005 powerstroke and It has 27000 miles on it. It still 11 months left of its bumper to bumper warranty and 72000 miles left of its power train warranty. I cant wait that long to go fast. Tuner, Intake are Turbo back is what I want to start with. With the information I have been reading the past few days I think the SCT tuner with the EGT temp sender is going to be able to handle making the most power. Will this make things difficult getting warranty work done after tuner and all other parts have been replaced to stock? I am not sure what intake and exhaust I want to use yet I was thinking about the AFE stage 2 intake and some sort of duel exhaust. Hopefully Ill find a good deals on some parts that have proved to make power. So let me know what you guys think. Give me your impute on what intake and exhaust you recommend. If anyone needs good deals on the manufactures I listed above let me know. Also PLEASE let me know where I can get the best deal on what I need for my truck. I need nice wheels, 35's, 2 ½ leveling kit, SCT tuner, intake, duel exhaust and more once I start learning about my diesel. A local dealer/shop would be cool because local pick up saves shipping, I have a business license and resellers permit for taxes and we could probably even build a good business relationship. Thanks for reading all this and I hope to be reading what you have to say.
Thank you,
Will Nibeel

To make your tow vehicle faster sell it and buy a Cummins...

Seriously though I have Heard ALOT of good things about the SCT tuner for the Fords. Put up a post in the Price Quote section and they can hook you up!

I really thought about the dodge because I have heard nothing but good things about the power train but I did not like the interior if it, plus the mustang is what got me started in the performance world so I have to support my roots and not to mention the last dodge I had (05 srt4) I lost all boost broke the turbo bearing with only 6,200 miles on the car. My truck tows my big 30 foot trailer amazing its its still stock. My dad has been towing the trailer with his 2001 8.1L 2500 suburban since it was new and it finely broke 2 weeks after I got my diesel. My dad (a Chevy only fan) was amazed how it towed. I cant wait to make some mods and then let my dad tow something with it because he has never like mustangs I am hopping we can both agree ford made something cool because I never thought my dad would drive a ford. I have no idea if its true but I thought I heard dodge was going to lose the Cummings motor with in the next couple years.
