well if that's what it cost then I'm up for it...it's only money lol

 

 

I know haha can't decide weather I wanna go big or not

 

You're confusing me. you said cheap mods. The things you're listing are many thousands of dollars. You must have one of those fancy jobs to where injectors, turbo, trans, HPOP, efuel, head studs, chip, gauges etc is being discussed as cheap

If you want to spend 10 grand to use stage II and up with reliability then go stage II with the supporting MODs. Personally my truck is for work, with the occasional on ramp WOT run. So I went the stage 1 route. I'd do those WOT runs A LOT more if I had a built trans. But since I don't, I baby it.

If you want to spend under 5K, I'd get Stage 1 sticks from Rosewood/Custom Tunes. EGT/Boost/Trans temp gauge. 6637 air filter. That will wake the stock truck up considerably. It's night and day. My favorite is when it's in OD on the highway cruising at 65, you can lean into the throttle just enough to spike the boost to 30PSI and it just sprints to 100 MPH or 1300 degrees on the EGT whichever comes first haha.

From there you can chip away fuel/HPOP/Turbo/Trans and other supporting MODs so if the itch comes to go bigger you will be ready. I'm having my water/meth kit installed today mainly to keep it cool while towing. However I'll be curious to see if I feel any butt dyno increase.

 

that's exactly the response I was looking for. I don't have a fancy job I'm a heavy equipment mechanic and still learning. But yes I think stage one injectors and other small stuff will best suit me for now

 

But 50 psi on your small tow tune is SOOOO much more fun!!

 

Sure if the truck could handle it but I doubt it

 

Smh stock 342000mi mill and stock trans...lol

I like to live dangerously.

450/720 yanks my 28' camper right nicely.

 

Why did we spend a page and a half then discussing crap for just stage ones and stock otherwise..smh

And married single income family wrench turner here..no Richy rich....just hard working driven determined here

 

it wasn't a waste I was looking for different POVs all was appreciated I just think stage one would probably be best for me as far as money and performance goes

 

if got t500 would that put to much pressure oil pressure to the injectors?

 

No,pressure regulated by the IPR. Its all about volume needed by the injectors under load. The larger pump when demanded via IPR can produce more volume where a stocker will increase duty cycle but run out of steam in some instances.

 

Ahh I see I see. So the t500 is just a drop In hpop no need for cutting new lines or anything like that?

 

Yea they modify the stock pump internals. Bolts in same as stock.

 

The hard is probably getting the fuel bowl out of the way and all that right there then it should be cake after that yea?
