Default Ok heres my plan

Ordered a Performabuilt level 2 today (supposed to handle 700hp to the wheels) already have a 215/220 cam/springs/pushrods. Bought a used whipple charger this weekend.

Going to add the trans 1st, then some long tube headers, a truetrac and then the wipple with some 42lb injectors and a tune.

Also will end up replacing the cam with a cam more suited for a blower.

Sounds good! Make sure you run it before the mods to see how much you gain.

The weight of our trucks is what kills them, I could see my trans taking 700hp in a lighter vehicle. I'm sure the ratings given are not for trucks.

I agree 100%. A 2000 pound difference play a big factor.
