airdick1 · 02-13-2008, 11:22 PM

I am getting a new truck this weekend and its a 2003 dodge 2500 with the H.O. but a 5 speed trans. i was wondering the right size of injectors to run and what programmer to run or should i stack 2 chips ? and what turbo? or just some power setups you all are running.

no power puck any more.

THANX

start it off with some guages get boost, egt and possible trans temp. Friend of mine has a smarty and he loves it. also get a boost fooler its a cheap couple pounds of added boost.

Gauges Is the BIGGEST thing you can do first. Any where do you live so we "CumminsForum" can send you to a shop near you:thumbsup

just get a smarty and you will be set..... Mads has the 230hp tune coming out very soon. You probably wont need injectors until you upgrade your fuel system, cp3, and turbo. Are you planning on a good daily driver?
