    Yeah a lot of guys come on here and ask about cams when they finish the bolt ons, but you will see better gains in the 1/4 and fun to driveness with a higher stalling torque converter. Lots of guys like the Circle D unit, I run a 5 speed so I can't tell you from personal experience.

    Forget the TB spacer. Waste of money. Money that can be spent in far better ways. The stall with wake it up a great bit. Thunder Racing is a pretty good selling place. I personally will never mess with them again.... LONG story. You got alot of members down there who can do swaps. If you pay for beer you may get lucky to have a weekend project instead of selling your left arm to thunder racing to do it for you

    What are their prices, and what would be the best stall?

    Now if only I was old enough to buy beer! Haha

    Only reason I mentioned the place was for the tune, not really experienced in that area. I pretty much do everything by myself besides welding (Have a buddy that owns a shop and hooks me up).

    Nelson or wheatley have a pretty easy to use mail order tuning systems. Id pick them far over thunder racing. They wanted 400 bucks to tune my truck when I first got it. Which wouldnt be that bad price except the truck had a tune from THEM on it. All I wanted them to do was reset the speedo. Thats only half my issues with them.

    What do they mail to you? Just want to get as much information as possible, so I can start to get a To-Do list for my truck.

    I bet if you put a took the rear bumper and towing hitch off and put a roll pan, dropped the spare tire, and the tailgate you could pull a 14!

    Wheatley and Nelson both send you a ECU with a tune specifically for your truck. When you get the ecu in the mail you pull yours and send it back to them. You take the ecu they send you and plug it in and roll! pretty easy.

    We did all if that besides the roll pan.. that was before I had the Hypertech and we were trying to lose as much weight as possible so we could get to 90mph.. I couldn't get over 89.96MPH, it was annoying the sh*t out of me. With the hypertech I got to about 91MPH and right now I'm looking int the tune Show&Go was talking about.
