I love my mods (and put a lot of thought into them before buying anything) for much better driveability, great towing and to whoop most stuff on the streets! $1050 for a used turbo, 320 for the Predator, 72 for the boost fooler, ~80 for the muffler, 35 for the 2 big round air filter elements and a few hours in the sheetmetal shop building the fittings for them. The stock clutch still holds and I want to stay at this level - the truck does everything I want it to do now. Craig

Well I returned from an overseas tour about a month ago and then added everything you see in my sig. I have been doing all kinds of research for about the last 6 months though. I went with the S&B cold intake and CFM manifold cause the #'s they produced looked good and they were different from everyone else here. The Edge was because of all the monitoring/safety functions it provides along with that lovely power and addability of a pressure box(for the 04.5's). Just read about all the different options and settle on what you are comfortable with. With everything out there, there really is no wrong answer. I LOVE my setup!

I would add the Smarty and a full 4" exhuast oh and guagus first . The cold intake won't gain you any real HP, just some ear pleasing sound. So I'd save my money for the other things first. You may also consider upgrading your 47RE. Are you sure you have the 48RE? I though only the HO engine was equipped with that in 03.

You have a better tranny then, that's great. You still might consider a tranny upgrade if you plan to put down say over 450 HP.
