NEWB-ish
would like some advice on my list of mods and how to prioritize the sequence of additions to be made. I have my mods in two phases so my wallet (aka wife) won't hurt too much. My truck is currently stock, 08 quad cab short bed 2500 w/112,000 miles on it. I bought it two weeks ago from a dealer in Northern Idaho. Didn't know about these forums until after, or else I'd've probably bought one from the classifieds here.... It is going to be used for both personal and job related tasks. Most likely won't tow anything heavier than 9000lbs.
Phase 1:
H&S minimaxx
the new H&S pyrometer
dpf and cat delete, keep stock muffler
H&S trans tuning
Fuel plug shim
Phase 2:
EGR Cooler Delete
Boost tube
CAI
Intake manifold
Head studs (425's or 625's, I know this is a running debate as of current. Not cosidering ATS h11's.)
Mag Hytek pan
My number questions are:
1) should I make the head studs a priority in phase 1 or will I be ok without for a while if I'm not hot-rodding?
2) Am I missing anything? I'm not wanting to go extreme, but some extra power and mpg's would be great.
3) What of anything should be pushed to phase 1?
