zippy Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I would do a shift kit and converter to start with then buy HP Tuners. Tuning is one of the most important things you can do for the truck. I assume you don't know how to tune, but if you know how to e-mail and use your laptop in general you are set. Purchasing HP Tuners allows you to e-mail your logs and tunes back and forth the tuner of your choice and short of a dyno tune that is the best way to have your truck tuned (and some dyno tuners aren't worth a crap either). After shift kit, converter, HP Tuners, look into doing headers, TR6 spark plugs, cat back exhaust, cold air intake, and thermostat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see what I can do with my tax check. Can anyone make a round guess what all of that costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex.t Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) i would say around 2 grand would be a rough estimate . depends on what headers and converter you get Edited February 2, 2012 by 03silv.ss (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
