Performance mod ?'s

So currently in my 03 i have Bully Dog intake, BD 4" turbo back, Pyro/Tran/boost gauges, Banks Big Head wastegate and the boost fooler with it. I am looking to obtain some more horsepower or overall mods to the truck and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions? thanks

I wouldnt go fully built with what he has just yet. A good tq converter and VB from goerend or suncoast is where I would go next. A smarty will get you some good power but its hard to resist turning it up and the conv and clutches wont last long. If you have the cash a fully built is great. I love mine but like I said.. Your money could be better spent elsewhere. Also, your gonna outgrow your turbo fast. Look into a HE351cw off a 04.5-06.
