Newbie Nitrous?
Sorry guys I'm just getting into the fast truck thing and have a few questions. I've been reading a lot of great info for the past two weeks but still have some basic questions. I have a 03 1500HD CCSB 6.0 72K miles and want to make some more power for the last year or two that I will own this truck. Currently I have an EFI Live tune and CAI is coming soon. Could my stock set up handle a small nitrous shot or should I not think about going in this direction? Thanks for any input.

Thanks, this is exactly what I'm trying to find out. When you say complain what do you mean? Are you saying a rebuild with upgrades before thinking of nitrous, or just proceed with caution? I'm just trying to grasp what the stock tranny can handle HP wise with 72K miles on it.

You could also set your window switch up so that you don't spray through the shifts. That will add some longevity to your trans. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
