Budget Build Up

I have an '04 and my truck runs great for all the more money I put in it minus the $28,000.00 for the truck I put less then a thousand dollars in it. I pulled it and went 286'6" and drag raced it on sunday and went 14.7 seconds on the 1/4 mile at 95mph and still get 18mpg.

Bought Used
*Bullydog power pup $200.00
*Quad Race Box $210.00

Bought New
*Airraid Jr. $120.00
*Exhust "Muffler" $130.00
*Gauges $230.00

Your tranny is already maxed out.

Plan of spending a few thousand on it before you add more power.
