a 360 tune is about all i was told but it is the best thing i have done but i plan on building the tranz in the future and i have an lly witch gives you more control like over turbo control and my truck isn't known for injector problems. i also would recommend the dsp5 and tune

If you had a LMM , 07.5 and up you could easly do a Trans-go jr kit and add up to 100-120 more HP,but an 02 would need a full Trans-go and that requires dropping the tranny so buy then you might as well keep going and can quickly get to thousands of $.The Trans-go jr for the 6-speed only costs about $100.If you add 120 hp to the stock 02 5-speed you will blow it unless babyed.And if your going to baby it why do it.

stock transmisson is usually 90HP over stock, some peoples trucks i have helped tune dynoed at 470 with a stock, others 400 and both limped them a few times.

mid 500's is usually the max with a stock turbo, your fuel system can be a limiting factor if it isnt in a good condition
