New Upgrades
Well first off I know alot of yall don't like Banks, but I ordered the IC kit and the 1.00 turbo from them. Expensive but easy. I also bought a DP Tuner. I also found out that DP Tuner is right down the street from my house. I also bought some tranny saver injectors from Beans. I'm still looking at maybe getting the cure or something while I'm at it

You have a good start on PMS, Powerstroke Mod Syndrome LOL!
The cure is good choice for your trans.....you'll be hurting it in the future with all
the extra "smile factor" Horse power.
I hope you are getting gauges to keeps an eye on the important stuff....EGT's, trans temp. Good luck with your build up, keep us posted.

Oh yeah I already got ISSPRO gauges, 3.5" DP and 4" exhaust. I also got a large tranny cooler. I normally run 160 when driving and 190 when towing my jeep on a 25ft gooseneck. Although I'm running 1250 on the egt's when towing.
That brings me to another question. Does the PCM start shutting off fuel when the egt's get that hot? B/c when towing on flat ground it's that hot and when I've got it floored trying to make it up those long hills. Never has gone above 1250 and the guage goes to 1500. It's the ISSPRO probe as well, so it should measure as high as the guage right?

Thats good advice. I was running the 1.0 housing with a similar setup as you will be running and the I noticed little to no difference in driving other than lower EGT's after I put the stoick 1.15 housing back on. Made for a nice increase in top end due to having to back out of the throttle after the EGt's went too high.

Ok, well I'll try it but may end up eithere sending it back or selling it on eBay. I'm painting it with 1500 degree paint before I put it in, so it'll still look new

Welcome to FTE. It looks like you have a good start and my money is on the fact that you are far from done.
Next; Tranny and bigger sticks. Then new pumper. Trust me I know. You have friends here to comfort you even if the wife doesn't.

The PCM doesn't know what your EGT's are. That's why I suggested the gauges, but you already have them. Good choice, I have the isspros too and seem to be very high quality. Be sure to listen to the advice these guys are giving, they have 'been there, done that'.
