Some new exhaust

So I caught the 1st generation mod flue the other day, and got searching these forums, so in the past 3 days I shaved down the fuel pin, turned the fuel screw in about 4 turns, think ill do another few turns soon, turned down the idle after doing the fuel screw and then went to the muffler shop today and had him cut out the muffler and rebend me some new pipe with no factory restrictions in it like there was and went straight pipe from the turbo straight ou the back and you have to here this thing now, I have almost burnt a tank of gas just matting it off every stop light because it sounds so good, and not only does it sound good it actually pulls now like setting you back in the seet a little bit,
I am, 230 bucks into all that so far and man what a cheap thrill, gotta love it
I am no to sure what my next mod will be, maybe the 3200 gov spring.

Definitely do the 3200 RPM spring. After that I'd suggest beefing up the trans.

No gauges yet, I guess ill have to get some, I forgot to mention I did a bhaf as well, I figured with the bhaf and the exhaust it would breath allot and keep itself fairly cool so I could get away from getting the gauges for a while.
I think i am putting that one off because I do not really know how to do that stuff myself so i would have to leave it at a shop for a few days
Get this one, in the past 4 days I have opened and closed my hood so much that the hood latch snapped on me, dodge just called me today and told me it was in, 180 bucks later for a hodd latch, ouch

Thanks for the offer on the latch but they made me pay for it before they would order it in and its here now so I am sure they would bend me over backwards about the hole deal at this point, maybe I will post here the next time I need a part first.
Even the parts guy at the counter couldnt believe the price, so he cut me a 20 dollar break on it and it still came to 180 bucks

Gauges arent hard at all. Just drill and tap a hole in the manifold for pyro, and if you want boost gauge, theres a plug in the side of the intake for that. 4 turns on the screw is getting pretty far up there for no gauges...Just a thought, but you may really want to look into them. Otherwise youll be dropping your truck off at the shop to get the engine replaced or rebuilt for a melted piston.
