Before any other mods do a Walbro 255 (from a Reputable retailer like SyTyperformance.com or Racetronix), an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and silicone vacuum lines from Sportmachines.

First i would recommend my ATR strip chip with a manual boost controller
this will at least boost your performance on a stock block set up if interested
i have both items the boost controller is from Turbo XS this unit can be adjusted
to your boost target !!!

P.S ATR strip chip is set up for 40 lbs injectors i got those also if needed !!

^ This.

Before even throwing on any "performance" mods, get your stock setup solid, do some baselines and only then start the bolt on HP mods.


You've started here, right?

Get all that done before you go any further.

^^ Also this.

Read it and fully understand it.

Bad idea. Get your truck running right first, then mod it. Even then, not all mods work on these trucks. Example: In one case, removing the stock intercooler setup and going A2A did nothing, despite spending almost $2000.

I'd hate to see you end up with a thread titled "WTS: Blew my shit up making boost."

Make sure the truck runs good with scan tool as mentioned in powertune plus website. Do a full tune up make the IC pump works add a walbro and fuel pressure regulators. (you can do these mods along with getting to run good stock). A stock typhoon should run high 13's.

If you want to do DIY tuning get a wbo2 and code59. Otherwise get a like the ultimate or the new chip from turbo tweak. The chip will control the boost for you. If you want a boost controller, get an external wastegate installed. you can get a typhoon to run low 13 to high 12 with these mods.

Did you go into it thinking it would make a difference, just curious?

When I did mine I purely wanted to stop having to deal with how heat soaked the I/C gets. That and it's sooo much easier to deal with when having to work on the engine.

No no, wasn't me. I was realating how Tooky explained that some mods can offer little to no performance increase, but can drain your wallet.

Re: best basic mods for a faster ty

Gotcha, yeah I would say apples to apples there's probably no gain. Yeah it's lighter, and less parts (depending on who puts it together lol) but you can never get below ambient like you can with factory.

Tomato/tomahto when I was W/A it was get heat soaked so fast here. Gots to imagine if it's 100-110 outside to start with, under a black hood, it don't take much to heat soaked ASAMFP!

+5, or so, on the Powertuneplus website! I visit that site almost everyday to answer some question that has popped into my head! Start there, and follow the mods pretty much in order. The only things you would really need to look at skipping are mods that were replaced with better alternatives. That should keep you busy for a while!

195* to 160* thermostat = .2 in the quarter with a Sy.

Hell, less heat means the bubber under there lasts longer too. It was like an oven when I had the stock thermostat. Open the hood.... whoosh.... tons of heat.

255 fuel pump w/ adjustable regulator, IC pump hotwire and reroute lines, voltage mod, scan tool, 3 bar map and compatible chip 18-20 psi.

IMO their is no need to Hotwire the IC pump relay (ie cut the factory wiring) if you doing an aftermarket chip. The aftermarket chip will turn on the IC pump all the time anyways.
