Whats Next??

Ok as some of you all know i have been driving my truck for 2 years "basically" Stock. Well a few weeks ago i ordered my DP Tuner with 3 performance setting 60T, 80Econ, and 120Race. Since installing the DP i have fallen in love all over again!! But now it has me thinking what upgrades should i be looking to do next?
Any input and opinions would be greatly appreciated!!!

6.0 Intercooler(New boots from Clay) and 6.0 Trans cooler.. best mod you can do.

ThenAIH plug, CCV kit, 6637 Intake, RR, water meth, van turo or 38r, hybrids, BTS tranny then window'd block, then new block, hypermax rods, Hpop updgrade, GT42, valve springs pushrods... It adds up very fast

Haha... I just know the path.. The BTS is coming by RRE so I can dyno and dragstrip w/out getting a 600 mile tow back to MO.

After that we got RR fuel system and water/meth.. then it get's a lift/tires etc...

Then i wait for the engine to blow or reach 500k.. then I go walking down the 12v Fummins path

i think its fun to put one or 2 things on at a time rather than all at once, it makes the fun last a little longer. but i guess i do that because my bank account is always empty!

I agree. It also allows you to gauge what kinda of difference the mod makes. I did stage 1 injectors/Van turbo/DP Tuner/HPX all at once so it makes it hard for me to judge which mod did what for the truck. But together they rock! haha

well I did it all in oregon at RRW.. originally it was van turbo DP tuner.. but ford's BS warranty on injectors forced my hand. They refused to warranty a stick w/ 600 miles on it.

I will never purchase a Ford truck or injectors.. Casserly all the way! That guys on my X-Mas card list!
