Looks like I got quite the list to get started on haha. I've already got the exhaust and the 6637 will be next but after that I'm at a slight loss as to which upgrades I should do first and which ones can wait
I just went through pretty much all of the upgrades you are talking about doing. It was definitely worth it. It is a completely new truck now. I am really happy with it. Once you start down the road, it is never ending... There is always more you can do to your truck!
What if I went with something like the hydra chip so that if I got the chip sooner I could use the regular tunes but then once I get injectors or turbo then I could just have the custom tunes emailed too me correct?
The bigger drop in turbos are barely better than stock. You could do a D66, but it doesn't have a good reputation in these parts.

I've never tried it though. I'm just summarizing what I've read here and a few other places.
Stage 1 injectors tops!! I just did a drop in 66 with my stage 2s.. Hit 1500 with no end in sight.. Oops!

That'll put you 390-425 hp reliable
Have 10k ready
X2!! I added it up, at minimum you looking at $10k, more like $13,000 (doing it all yourself). Plus a set of rear tires when you're done

Agreed.
You will surprised a thousand people with a built OBS powerstroke. It just takes some work and $$ to do it.
i noticed that ved0303 has basically the same things im going to get but is running stage 2's. if im going to put on an intercooler, hpop, turbo, and the whole 9 yards would i be ready to just jump to stage 2's instead of 1's? other than they are more money but hey go big or go home right?
