My ? is WHAT NEXT.....What I mean is with the h.p. gains that i have which i know is little but above stock should i do anything to help prolong the life of the tranny or engine?
I dont plan on going turbo or spray just wanted to be a little quicker... my thoughts for the next item to add was a e-fan or a torque controller but ill be very honest i know **** about t.c. and am in the process of trying to research what all putting one in intells. I dont want to be to extreme on my mods because this is still my daily driver so i cant afford to have it go out of commision so please everyones thoughts would be great ......
AND JUST TO ADD ON TO THIS LIKE ITS NOT ALREADY LONG ENOUGH IF THERE IS ANY IN HERE FROM CENTRAL CALI AND IS INTERESTED IN HANGING OUT WITH MY BUDDIES AND ME JUST SHOOTIN THE **** HAVIN FUN TALKIN ABOUT TRUCKS AND DRINKIN BEER WERE TRYING TO A LITTLE CLUB TOGETHER ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE FRIENDS ...

yes get rid of the hypertech and go with a dyno tune
swap out the muffler for a better flowing verison, magnaflow, etc.
putting in a torque converter requires you to drop the trans
if its not too late cancel the JBA headers and get longtubes, wait youre in cali so maybe you have to have them for emisions...

i would not waste money on anything else until you get it tuned, there is no other mod (besides nitrous or FI) that will make that kind of difference.
my truck drives like a completely different truck since i've gotten it tuned, it's great!
