Making it smoke doesn't make power. It's a waste of fuel and it make the diesel world look like azzhole.

You won't find anyone here that'll help you run around town smokin people out.

Shocks aren't part of the suspension geometry; they don't set the truck height. Springs, brackets, shackles, blocks, etc. determine the geometry.

In order.
6637 intake. 100
Downpipe. 100
Gauges. 150-400
TS Chip. 350-500
Hpop. 450
StageI's. 1200
Intercooler if you can do a little fab work and piece a kit together using a super duty IC it can be done for around 500

That'll keep you busy for a while.

To drop it you'll need new front I beams and you have to move the rear axle to the top of the springs.

The stock injectors are only 90cc of fuel per 1000 shots

A lot of us go with Terminator Engineering T500 HPOP. Joey at TE is a sponsor here and has great customer service and his pumps like NEVER fail.

There are other options tho like the stealth or adrenaline HPOPs. I have no background with them.

edit: You could get a 17 degree HPOP out of a junk 99-03 super duty... that should handle stage 1s.
