Then I get guys telling me to put the hose on and I'm like "this means getting the kit, beef-up the tranny more".......what else.
I'm going to ride like this for awhile and see what happens next..........

You are killing me Mark!!!!!! A 12.5 truck in 2011!!!!!!

I didn't feel like getting all of the receipts out to calc in the cost of part, tax and shipping. Ohhh another thing, this also doesn't include supplies and misc. stuff like nuts and bolts.

On a slightly related note....do you want to make $200 and reinstall my tranny? Only catch is you have to drive to my house and do it yourself because like I said I'm 400 miles away. I live about 10-12 minutes away from Cody FWIW. I need to pm him and make him the same offer.

I guess I'll just do whatever and see where it takes me.

Do you want us to tell you that you can put a turbo on it and run 12's all day? Ok sure, Buy the STS kit for $4000 and go take it out to the track, spend $50 and get a boost controller and turn it up to 30 pounds. Take it to the track and tell us what you ran.
We're sitting here giving you advice and apparently it's going in one ear and out the other.

30 pounds on a stock motor. He would blow a head gasket befor he got half way down the track. Thats if the whole motor didn't blow first.But he is right, we are not nay-sayers, you just have a pretty tall order.

umm, im pretty sure he would probably throw a rod or something similar first.
if you pick your parts right, you can do it but it will take a power adder and all the supporting mods. and probably some internal mods too.
