Default alright, well here we go

hey guys, well as you know i have the 2002 cummins and its the 235 hp motor. i want it to haul ***, seriously. already i have replaced the entire exhaust, 4" downtube and 5" pipe + stacks...did the edge juice with attitude, normally run it on level 2, maybe 3. im wondering what you guys think or if you have experienced pretty much the same set up? and what it will be like if i change the injectors, turbo and transmission. if i did these what else do i have to do to be reliable ? my truck just doesnt seem to perform nearly as well as my friends 06 manual trans (6 speed) cummins. he has the juice/attitude combo and this thing really hauls *** man compared to mine. he has the tuff country 5" lift, and 35"s too. what do you guys think i need ?

What kinda gears do you have in your rear?

Bumping the Edge up will definately give you a little boost in speed as well.

That would be part of it right there. For quick launches, deeper gearswould bevery helpfull, although with 3.55s your truck probably gets much better mileage than his 06

I've caught myself trying to shift into 7th gear on more than one occasion.
