Here is what I'm thinkin of running with, tell me what you think.
Intake: S&B Icebox
Stacks: 7" Grand Rock Mitre cut (Duals)
Programmer: Smarty Jr.
Gauges: Unknown... Any suggestions? How many gauges should I get?

I got a 2006 2500 mega automatic w/ 8" lift rollin 35's.

Is the Jr. the best programmer I can get without blowin out my stock trans?

Its a daily driver but I want the power to overtake those pesky fords and chevy's who think they have me. Silly rabbits.

 

gauge wise you will def need a pyrometer whatever else is up to you. i would say pyrometer, boost, and trans temp. especially if you plan on keeping your stock tranny a while

 

if you have self control, get the Smarty Sr.....so when you get the bug like the rest of us you dont have to swap the jr. for the sr. in the future.

Guages - ISSPRO or DiProcol: Boost, EGT, Trans - package from dieselmanor.com...or a quad commander (i've never used one, but they look cool)

 

Glowshift has some good deals on gauges and are realy cheap and mine perform well and look great and come with like 6 0r 7 different backlight colors and anout your trans holding up like some say just be carfull, I seen ppl blow out 48re with just a pressure box but of course it has alot to do with you foot which is prolly plenty of my problems
