2nd Gear in the Getrag will be fine for starting out. Just overfill the trans by 1 qt of synthetic 5w-30 engine oil.

I would keep it VE'd but that is just my personal preference. Spend $15 and get a 4200 RPM spring. If you need it, I will get the part number for you.

Get a set of 5x12's from Weston on here.

Get a HE351CW from an 05-06 Cummins if you must run a stock turbo. Otherwise I would suggest a nice 63/68/.90. Your VE will need nothing more unless you go 14mm H&R but then reliability of the pump goes way down.

Cheap fuel supply is a Holley Black or the knock off Procomp Black. Set at 14psi and 160gph should supply most of the fuel you will need. The stock diaphragm lift pump is junk.

And finally a 7.3L Superduty intercooler with metal ends fits into the stock IC location with minimal trimming. Get a set of CoolerTubz from Tim Worline to round it out.

Now you have enough power to do something to the truck.
