What to Stack, 2003 305hp.

So I'm running a standard juice right now. I'm cool with adding a better lift pump and clutch, but don't want to go past an OFE for driveability, a turbo is probably a ways away but I'll just turn stuff down when towing if need be. I tow 5000# quite often in the summer, and haul a couple of dirt bikes. It's my daily driver and I love the way it works now, just want more (don't we all) for burning around with. TIA for any advice.

I say save up for a turbo.

Your turbo is past its effecincy level with edge on max. If you have $$$ burning a hole in your pocket then upgrade your JA with the HOT version.

I wouldnt add any more HP until you upgrade your tranny and turbo, and maybe fuel system.

I would say get a clutch first before stacking.

He dont need no turbo yet. My turbo is stock right now and I consistantly lay down decent numbers on the 1/8 and sled pulling -level 3 on predator and 5 on juice. Egt spiked at 1475, 1455, 1485, 1480 4 out of 7 runs. The other three were below 1400.

EGT never gets above 1250 on hard pulling with 10,000 lbs on interstate - usually a combo of level one predator and 3 on juice.

I spike at 1500 -1560 during sled pulls. I am sure a bigger turbo might help at some point but he wants a stack. He can stack what hes got without a turbo upgrade and whip 9 out of 10 trucks on the street and 5 to 6 out of 10 trucks at the track.

I do agree about tranny upgrades.

The clutch is a good Idea but I have been getting by with the stocker and this stack for 15000 miles, however it has slipped from time to time and I have to break it back in.

Thanks guys, clutch is already marginal so it's a definite. Fuel pump is a no brainer, the turbo I'm going to try and put off I'll just back things off for towing. Morkable, did your's come from Barry? Also is it timing and duration, or pressure?
