What mod next?

Ok so I am looking to throw a little more money at the my truck. With what I have in my sig, what should I buy next and why? I don't tow much and want some more streetable power. I was looking at Jammer 5's. I can't afford to have a fully built tranny yet but I think after the next mod I throw at it I may look to start saving for a Goerend trans.

Jammer 5's will kill the tranny fast. Maybe you should get some RV275's & just change the tips later. The rv275 will have brand new bodies & be a good base later on for tips.

What are the power difference between the two and what kind of power will my truck look at having with either of those.

I believe that the Jammer 5's are rated at 125-150hp increase & the RV275's will give you 40-60hp....big difference. I killed a Luk clutch rated at 500hp in 30k miles running 150hp injectors.

Im looking to upgrade to a goerend trans around next fall. If I was to go for the Jammers is it likely my trans would last untill then?

my injectors has supposedly been replaced by the dealer when the original owner had it. i think my injectors would be a good base cause they only have about 10,000 miles on them. i am thinking about stage 2 or 3...which one would be better for a stock charger. i do tow stuff like tractors and forklifts, i will be soon investing in a pyro. i am buying one part at a time.

Ask that question to your right foot. If you drive normal, you'll be fine.

I wouldn't go higher than 90-100hp with a stock charger, but anything below 100hp should be fine.

psd tuner, you'd be pushing your luck with jammer 3's. I'd do jammer 2's.

That said, most guys who buy jammer nozzles either get 3's or 5's. It seems like those guys who buy different than those two sizes are dissatisfied with them.

Your problem with the 3's would be that HY 35 turbo. It is probably maxed out with just the Smarty. What is your trans like? It will not like new injectors either.

tranny is weak...slips going into fourth. fluid goes black quiet often, have to change about every 10K. i am waiting for it to die, so i could rebuild it to a stought tranny.
