What do I do NEXT!?

Ok, I have been doing a lot lately...

I just put in my Stallion TC and BD Valve Body this weekend. I'm going to do the CCV Mod and Zoodad mod tomorrow, I also have a Overboost annihilator in the mail. With all the things I have done (Programmer, exhaust, intake) I'm running out of things to do. I am wondering if any of y'all have any ideas? I know I can get new injectors or a turbo... I want to do some things on the cheaper side but I think I'm done with all that stuff...

If you were me what would be the next thing you would do?

I have thought about Injection but I don't want to ruin my engine or damage anything... What is safer Methanol, Propane, nitrus????

Thanks for the info!!!

I hope you have done your gauges. Cheap mods would be the 22" or 24" wiper mod, the door chime off mod, the no dim overhead console mod and for a bit more, the head light bulb upgrade, the B-quite sound deading, the SSHPX line. Plenty more ideas in the 7point3 link in my signature.

I don't really want to do Cosmetic things... I'm talking about performance Mods, I have done:

4" exhaust (straight pipe)
Edge w/ Attitue (gives me my Boost & EGT)
Sniper Programmer (Changes Shift points, line pressure, timing, etc...)
K&N Intake
Overboost Annihilator
Zoodad M0od (tomorrow)
CCV Mod (tomorrow)
Stallion TC
BD Valve Body
Heater Plug Mod

With all that said what performance mods are left?
Can my truck handle new injectors with everything else stock?
Can I get an any injection system without damaging my truck?

That is where I would go. Although I have never heard of the wiper mod and I used to have Monte Carlo w auto headlights and I need the dinger or I leave my lights on ALL THE TIME!!!
I would do the fog light mod as well. I jumped mine behind the switch, but a lot of guys do the www.7point3.com version.
CCK wouldn't hurt.

The wiper mod is just using 22" or 24" blades instead of the OEM 20". I use the 22".

If you do an in-tank mod Harpoon it while its out. Not a performance mod but sure is the most convenient mod I've done.

Most here prefer analog gauges, Boost, EGT and tranny temp. Also most prefer the 6637 intake or AIS over the K&N. You could shim the FPR or better yet do a regulated return to give better fuel supply. You could do the SSHPX(stainless steel high pressure crossover) which is a line that ties both oil rails together to help balance the pressure.

You might want to copy and paste that into your sig

BTW, you cosmetic/comfort mods are your cheap ones after those. You start spending bigger money after "the big three."

I would go with hutch/harpoon and CCK/HPX (From Dino Fuel Alternatives) next. Go to Guzzle's page and you will find the parts list for the intanks of you can get your kit from ITP.

If you want performance, sell the Edge/attitude, and buy a DP Tuner chip, and a set of gauges. I guarantee it will give you a smoother and more powerful truck, much more custom built to your truck. plus, throw that K&N away, they arent meant for turbo diesels. Put on another filter like a 6637, AIS, or AFE intake.

Under "user cp" edit signature is the first one in the list on the left side of the page.

It takes 25 posts to have the option, but you have that now. Check back later and I am sure it will work.
