I am Interested in turning my 2000 2500 cummins auto 4x4 into a real smoker that is also a great daily driver. I need a path and i need a plan. I want around 300hp and 500-600 torque is this reasonable to ask of a cummins with 120000miles on it already? What do i need to do as far as chip, intake, injectors, guages, TRANNY!, propane, what ever else. I Already have the 4" exhaust. I know nothing about diesels so talk slow.haha Thanks

Get an Edge EZ with a set of 275 injectors and you should be there. Fuel pressure, boost, EGT gauges. Scotty 2 intake system. That should put you at 300hp/600tq.

Should i Worry about the miles or the trans?

A catcher(mad,ecm) mach1.6s ,intake exhaust and a built tranny ,gauges,and dont put anything on the dash, cuz it will be in your face!
and you will have tons of smoke if you want it

That combo there shouldn't strain anything. If you want, you can put in a new valve body from DTT and that will hold that combo with extreme ease. First things first though, get the gauges and get a base line. Your fuel pressure shouldn't be below 8psi at full throttle. If it is then replace the lift pump.

What is A catcher(mad,ecm) mach1.6s. Likdea whe i said i am new and have no iat that is.


Ok i will set my base line before i put any of that other stuff on. what boost and egt should i have stock.

A catcher is a reflashed engine control modual brings all the timing and fuel in down low makes the truck feel like its 2x faster also gives about 66HP mach 1.6s are DON M F1 injectors about 90 hp above stock both give better perfor. and MPG

install all your gauges first to get a base line ....pyrometer pre turbo is the preferred location

A catcher with a set of mach 1.6's will have your tranny looking like it came out of mount saint helens.

BIGBlue you got me laughing hard on that one

True true you need a built tranny
