Don't forget these vehicles also like different cams with those turbo's. And different rear end gears. I'm not trying to offend you here but I myself am still quite the newb these vehicles. Start maybe with an intake/exhaust/tune. See what type of reaction you will get from those things first, then see about the turbo. The turbo route is cool none the less, but it really sucks if you don't know how to fix it WHEN it breaks. Its Murphey's law man.

    I vote for a performance torque converter. I might be a little biased though. It is close to a shot of nitrous but with no bottle to fill.

    I run 2500hd bilstein shocks and hotchkis sway bars. The sway bars were the best 500 spent on the truck.
    99RCSB Broke because I wasted thousands and thousands of dollars on my truck.
