hey guys i recently just bought a 97 powerstroke its got a four inch lift with 35s under it it has 140,000 and has an e40d auto tranny my question is that it has one of those banks transcontrol modules in and i read that they were junk and to take them out i was wondering what you guys think, if i should take it out or not and what it would involve to replace it. i want to do a few upgrades to make some more power so i can pull away from other vehicles but not to make it unreliable either i now have a 3inch down pipe what do you guys think for upgrades i was thinking like a swamps custom tuned chip and a cold air intake, would that be to much for the tranny

 

i too would like to hear an answer for this. i just swapped the restrictive exhaust off for a 3" dp to 4" straight pipe. would love to hear some direction on what to do next

 

Chip and intake is a good start. It all depends on what kind of power you want. If you do the custom chip I would take the banks controller out.

 

is that somthing that you can just unplug or is there a special bypass kit for it

 

Never messed with one but I think its plugged into the pcm and you just unplug it.

 

yea a chip round 3 inch DP and intake are a good place to start trans comant should just unplug.

 

i would also like to do injectors to but i dont want to replace my hpop is there anyinjectors that would up my power without being a problem to longevity of the motor i would like the keep it in the cheaper price range but dont mind spending money on good quality and does anyone no of the cheapest sets of gauges that come with all wires and proper installation parts, thanks guys

 

Without changing the hpop I wouldn't go bigger then some stage 1s and as for gauges, isspro is all I will buy.

 

if it's cheap price, it's cheap quality. buck up and get ISSPRO. i paid about 400 for mine. EV2's. boost, trans, egt,

 

yeah thats really not tht much money but is the isspro a complete kit with all the wiring and everything i just dont want to be chasing around to buy wiring after i buy the gauges
