    Daily driver is all its gonna be. I plow with it in the winter. I just want a lil more out of it without blowing the stock tranny. I understand that its all about how deep my pockets are. And as far as a # I guess it all depends on the trusty sticker on the motor. How close to 325 is it. If its accurate I guess between 400-500 would be good. It's to bad none of you guys are anywhere close to nh. It'd be nice to see what a truck with the power you guys have is like.

    If your just wanting some extra HP just stick with a smarty on SW3... specially on a stock tranny.

    If your looking to upgrade injectors...specially 100hp sticks, some say your gonna need a bigger turbo (to manage EGTs). And with 100hp sticks its also recommended to to upgrade your CP3 and lift pump. And once you've done all that...well, say bye bye to the tranny lasting, specially pushing snow.

    This is MY opinion that wont break the back. Get ya a smarty So6 POD, FASS or Airdog 95 lift pump, 45-50hp sticks, and slitly upgrade your tranny (shift kit, billet input shaft). This wont break the bank to bad...but will also alow you to drive your truck and not worry all the time (when it my tranny gonna go)

    depends oh what you what for power, intector size. you can go with a modified cp3 or run dual cp3. i would say anything 100 and over upgrade ur fueling system. but you are going to need to do so minor upgraded to your tranny before you start with alot of mods.
