Dodge5.9

Ok here is what I got. I just bought a '97 dodge 4x4 5spd. I LOVE it is has soooo much more power than my ford. I love this truck. Here is what it already has. The guy I bought it from put in a SB Con OFE clutch in it about 10,000 miles ago. It alreay has boost and pyro gauges and he has a #10 plate in it also the KDP is taken care of too I can also pull right now about 32 or 33lbs of boost empty. I would like to know what I should buy next. My budget for now is $1000 to spend and I plan on using every penny. I would just like to know what to get and get the most bang for my buck. I'm new to the cummins world but I am trying to learn as much as I can. I hope you all can help me out.

thank,
Adam

370 injectors, and a Dodgezilla turbo...

And grind the 10 to a 100.

Does it have the timing advanced yet?

Hey Adam, I would get some injectors like some DDP stage IIs and a 3k govenor spring kit from one of the vendors. You can go with a bigger injector but you will be needing a turbo upgrade soon..

See my post

For the GSK, try the washer mod. I can't believe I forgot that I LOVE my GSK. I can't believe my good buddy Jack would let me forget that

Yeah I read your post about the washers for the GSK, sounds like a good idea. I do know first off I need an 4" or 5" exhaust so my EGT wont be through the roof. Also I will be using the truck to pull around 10 to 12K so I dont want to large of injectors that are gonna raise the EGT up to much until I get a turbo that can support the air they need, also what about delivery valves? Also could doing that and putting on like lets say a 14cm exhaust housing help utill I have the money for a larger turbo?

Thanks guys,
Adam

also timming hasnt been done yet, to the best of my knowledge it is still stock.

Buy some 4" ex = $300-$500
AFE intake = $250
Bump to 15.5*- 16* = $150
PAY the $125 for 3k gov. springs

$800-$1000
If you have $ left over buy a Mag-Hytec diff cover, then save $2000-$8000 for injectors and turbo/turbos

I think for my intake I'm gonna do the BFAH. Thats some other good stuff to think about.

Do the timing bump, it is well worth the money, really changes the truck.

And DVs work well with stock injectos, but create a bit of heat. That is the route I intend on going.

Why not the washer GSK?

Dodge5.9

Well for right now I plan I getting the Exhaust and BFAH and doing the GSK and having timing done. That should leave we around 300 to 400 dollars left. I really dont want the DV if they are gonna creat alot of extra heat, do you know if stage 2 injectors would raise as much as DV with stock injectors?
