I have a 2003 HD supercharged i put a new cold air intake (C&L)in, inlet pipe(C&L) , throttle body(big oval) , and upper intake (C&L)in with a diablo preditor tuner. i would like to put a lightening pulley and belt in to give me the extra 40hp and 25torque because i was told that was the only engine power difference between the trucks. im looking for any suggestions for power upgrades nothing like nos but things like exhausts, fuel injectors, etc. also if anyone knows of any good shops around st. louis that would be helpful.
Budget im unsure on but not looking to exceed $2000 as of right now i just bought a new pulley which is next to go on i do need to replace the spark plugs and carrier barring.
i would look at rpmoutlet or lightning force performance. you can get a package deal for a good price and most of the stuff you can do yourself. what size pulley do you have?
ya i heard about that on rpmoutlet but i have order some stuff threw them and i didnt have any problems
Yep, there are a few of you kind of people around. But like a solar eclipse, they are rare.
RPM outlet has way, way, WAY too many complaints about their business practice, their ripping people off practice, their unethical behavoir practice, to even consider telling someone to check them out.
Heck, LightningRodder forum has an announcment at the top of the Gen 2 forum page WARNING people not to do business with RPM Outlet. Mainly for the newbs who don't know better, but it's still a big warning none-the-less.
SVT Performance made a public posting that RPM Outlet was being dropped as a Supporting Vendor because of their BS way of doing business and ripping people off.
DO NOT USE RPM OUTLET!

if you live in st louis find stegmeier they do porting and polishing of the intake sys and your superchager they also dyno tune lightings which is the best way to tune your truck. buying a ready made tune is not the way to go. you need a sct hand held tuner most of the dyno speed shops use theur soft ware.
