I have slid the stock plate full forward, afc full forward, AFE stage 1 intake, and I strait piped it yesterday. I probably have 1 more mod left, then I'll have to wait a while for some more funds. What is my next mod? 370's, or GSK? What would be the best mod for the money? Should I grind my stock plate to a #0 or #100? My gauges will be here on Monday. Just noticed I haven't changed my sig. I sold the 99 and bought a 96 2wd, auto, bone stock. I'm still learning about the 12v.

 

I would grind the plate and do the GSK ( washers or springs)
If you put this in the performance forum you will probably get a little more exposure.

 

GSK.

Either buy one or....

With the auto trans, you are gonna wanna look at trans mods before you get too deep into the performance mods

 

Look into a Trans-Go shift kit to help out your trans for a while... Eventually, even with the higher line pressures and increased flow to it the TC will die on you. In which case if you don't plan on doing a whole lot in the line of mods then just throw a single disc billet TC at it and call it good (unless the transmission is slipping or you tow heavy, drag race, and/or sled pull)

 

I have been investigating upgrades since the diesel showdown in Tulare I have determined that before I get to my goal of 400 ponies, I think I am about 230 now, build the transmission up to handle it next, then build the horsepower. My trans is already starting to hurt.
