I say Turbo, because with a modded CP3 or an LBZ CP3, you will make enough fuel (for now). Then I would look into dual CP3's

i just have a modded fca right now, and im currently trying to make more rp and so far all my tests are giving me no good results. but theres a few more tricks up my sleeve to get more RP out of that durn cp3. i just shimmed my airdog for more psi, right now i got 2 5/16 washers in there ima see how that turns out.

and im putting my stock filter back on too with my fp tap mearing psi to the cp3 also.

but more air would me nice

turbo because if you are running aroound town with Dual CP3 a big black smoke will follow you and you are going to be wasting a lot of money and cops going to be after you for pollution and black smoke. but once turbo is paid off and broken in time for Dual CP3s

I would say, Turbo, then 2CP3's. Can't make anymore power with stock turbo and 2CP3's anyway, and single CP3 truck with good tuning and big chargers run 12's all day, and can spray into the 11's. Your rods might not like you, but it will be the better purchase.
