Yeah it seems the 3000TT is the way most everyone says to go but the only thing I am worried about is the driveability of my truck. I really value the smoothness of how our trucks ride and do not want to lose that at all because it is my daily driver. ALSO, would installation be an arm and a leg at a shop or should I just try to do it? Never messed with my tranny before...

 

The smoothness and drivability are great with a TT3000,but it will windup costing close to $1000 for a new TT3000 with installation even with a group purchase price.ASM headers will run about the same and a Nelson tune without any mods won't net much of a horsepower gain.

 

nelson tune wont net much of a horsepower gain with out mods huh?? wtf??? maybe im wrong but tuning of any sort will help no matter what mods you have! i gained over 4/10's with nelson tune over the hpp3 with same mods so i would beg to differ but i could be wrong. ok back to the question if i had $700 to start off with i would go with the tune and exhaust!! Since you do get free upgrades on the tunes as you add mods

 

 

I agree with the TT3000 but if are not ready for a stall, just with a Nelson tune and a true dual with an X pipe.

 

Howdy,

you can't go wrong with a tune and exhaust.

 

Howdy!
Nelson tune and exhaust gets my vote, but you will want all that and more. BTW you will still be happy with a Yank stall when you get one! Maybe you can drive someone's truck (or car) with a stall and see how you like it.

 

Don't forget about what you can install yourself. Yeah the converter is great, but if you can't install it yourself, it is going to cost you over $1000 for the converter plus install, maybe as high as $1200. The catback and Nelson tune will give you a great gain, plus you get the bonus of a sweet sounding exhaust, and the whole thing will cost you less than $800, and you will love how it drives and sounds all together. I have driven a couple of trucks with the stalls, and they are real tame, and with the torque multiplication you get from the stall it makes a huge difference. A little tricky launching without decemating the tires, but makes up for it while running down the road or track. The tune will work in correspondence with all other mods, and unless you get real heavy on mods, a retune will not be necessary! Enjoy that truck man!

 

custom tune, you won't regret it

 

if you make it into the Houston area Ill let you go for a ride in mine. Ive got a 2800 vig that stalls up to 3000/ its really fun to drive.
in fact why dont you come down to the get together on the 16 of may?
you could check it out then
