What Next- ? for big HP guys.
I have a little money and am ready to make my next move, my truck is ok but I want more, and kind of expected more at this point.
I plan to get the following upgrades but which one would you reccomend next, or list all three in order of importance.
*Stack, probably TST
*CP3 Upgrade
*Cam and Springs
And anything else you can think of. Thanks Rye.

From the looks of your sig I would go with a modded CP3. I think there will be more options on cam and springs in the near future from what I have been hearing. That is why I am holding off on them.

I would do the CP3 upgrade first. If you stack in another big module you are just going to be running your rail out of fuel and wont be able to really use the full power capabilities of the module. The CP3 will ensure you have enough fuel in the rail to really take advantage of another module.

CP3 upgrade
Do you have a rail pressure gauge? I'm guessing not... I can almost guarantee you, that rail is dry at high fuel demand.
For a real good power increase, I would say sell the BDTD and get a TST, pressure box stack with the CP3 upgrade. Or triple stack
I think Luken is running a stack like that, he makes some real good power with it, and he still has the stock CP3 as far as I know...
just my two pennies

Contact Timinva. He's a busy guy but if you check his sig, he knows how to build a truck right. He does a lot of work for members here and he sells at a good price. I don't like other people touching my truck but someone like Tim I have no problem with dropping it off and waiting for him to call me telling me it's done... He can get you a modded CP3 too..... He did everything on my last truck that I couldn't do myself...... He'll see this one eventually..

Ive got it set at 55-60lbs, have read some BD forums and can go higher but I dont see the need, my current set up has low egts and no smoke after spool up-which doesnt take long.

Do a stage 2 CP3 from Floor-It, and get your studs in ASAP before you blow the headgasket, trust me (and Luken) it's worth it... Also ditch the Bully Dog for the Smarty, made 45hp more on mine! You could do the Helix 2 cam, and springs too, I LOVE my helix 2.5, the truck is smooth and the engine sounds like a gasser at idle. Spoolup is also greatly improved.

Floor-It just came out with a new Stage 2. Definitely go with it. It is PHENOMINAL.
Question for you: How much (if any) difference did the ATS ARc Flow make from the OEM one. I have been trying to decide if I should do either it or the CFM one.

I love my Mega too much!
I am going to break 1000HP (with some water/meth of course) on the dyno. Optimus will not be "done" until then!!
