Im not sure the tranny will like that power with just a TC...Also why the dual stage nitrous kit when your on stock injectors and CP3?

As the tranny goes it will be built while its out. It seems that will need injectors and a cp3. Not a problem, which ones should I get?

If you have alot of cash to spend go with the PPE dual CP3 setup, the best injectors right now are Flux's by F1 diesel performance(or so i hear). Youll need a turbo or two as well, along with all that boost youll need headstuds, and to power the CP3 and injectors youll need a lift pump i run a Glacier GFS 392 comp system, might want to ditch the edge and stack the bully dog with a TST PMCR, do you have the crazy larry download on your truck?

Banks mufflers are loud. I just installed a 4" Banks muffler on my truck and the drone is annoying. I would keep researching exhaust systems before you buy.

If your stacking chips, than I would do more to the tranny than just the TC. Look into a valve body and maybe some billet shafts as well. As far as exhaust, I would go with the Magnaflow system. I don't know much about the CP3's or nitrous kits, but you may want to check into running the modded or dual CP3's instead of the nitrous.

I would go with the TST PMCR R49 and the Bully Dog! But thats just me!
And maybe even a TS MP-8!

Im ordering everything first thing tom. Im a machinist and Im working on the head right now. The hardest part is machining off the intake. As for studs I will be using 12mm ARP. Im getting the Bullydog but if you guys think its better to go with the TST PMCR thats what i'll due. I like the ATS twin setup, I think the ATS sale guy told me he would sell them to me for $5122 shipped. This truck is starting to look like a Franklin burner, well you know what they say, you cant take it with you when your die. Stock03 what do you think of the Magnaflow dual 5in?

Dont get me wrong the trans will be completly built. I dont like to have *** anything I do. The way I see it when I build my motors. They are only as strong as the weekest link.

My goal is to get the truck in the 10s, but for now I would like to be in the 12s.

But it does sound cool at WOT...Really deep sound. But I'll be getting something else. The drone starts at about 60MPH or so, and it gets worse the faster the motor turns. Below 60, it's just a little louder than stock. Maybe I'll try a straight pipe?

I would say dump the ATS intake and spend the money on a good valve body. And you will never have a reliable 12 sec truck let alone a 10 sec truck without huge trans upgrades.

As well, if you have the mopar stock all metal intercooler leave the banks alone and spend the money on your twins or a good fass or gdp kit...
