Welcome to the DTR!
Fill in your signature, so we know details....User CP!
Then, get gauges. This will give you baseline readings so you know what (and how much) is changing when you add fuel/power.
-Pyrometer
-Boost Gauge
-Fuel Pressure Gauge
-Tranny Temp Gauge...if an automatic.

Yup. Fill in your signature, then get gauges, at least a pyrometer and fuel pressure, and then do an intake/exhaust setup.

I bought an 01 2500 also two weeks ago, my first mod was 4" exhaust, second was a shift kit in the auto trans, the third is a edge juice w/attitude, my fourth will be an upgraded fuel pump.

Good start. Make sure we've got a fuel pressure gauge (not sure if the attitude monitor has it) Depending on what type of trans it has, you may want to start a "trans fund" (ask BIGBLUE about this)

My suggestion is gauges and get rid of that small HY35 turbo.

Edge has the fuel guage. Don't need the tranny fund, that is what I do for a living.
