What have you done tranny? Maybe a new triple-disk TC.

The Stallion at this site was recommended to me.

There's a couple things you could get.

Injectors
Clutch
Turbo
New Hpop

Many possibilities with that kind of dough

Id start with the basics. A downpipe and some gauges would be a good start. Then maybe a Wildman chip.

Do you have a Downpipe? if not a downpipe gauges and a chip should get rid of it for you in a hurry.

Sorry about that, I figured he had that stuff since he was already running propane inject and stuff. Yep, It's better to start small and work your way up!

Even still, gauges are a must for a modded, or soon to be modded truck.

Smart move!! I think Tony Wildman does free reburns. I would call and ask him then if he does do gauges, Downpipe and chip then later do DIY injectors and reburn the chip.
