The only problem that I know of is that there isn't one currently parked in my driveway.

Well, I see that alot of people here do an intake upgrade. Does this do anything, because it did not assist me when I installed my AEM intake into my WRX it did not make a difference. Has anyone completed a better intercooler upgrade?

welcome to DF...

sucks about the WRX...

As for mods, propane injection is at the bottom of the list for mods... I dont know of many doing it. most get more power out of programmers (engine management as you put it... TST is a favorite), open exhaust and open intake... the AFE stage 2 intake is what I have and love it. my setup listed in my sig is current and rocks! I get decent mileage, and have a ton of power when I need it.

as for problems... none that arent related to my right foot. you will need to upgrade your clutch/tranny though when you go too far...

Rudy, I traded an SRT-4 in on mine and not once have I regretted it. I have the 2500 4x4 Megacab with the Cummins. I was worried that I was going to miss the performance of the SRT, ran 13.10@105 in it. I bought the BullyDog Triple Dog programmer for the truck and it runs low 14's. Not exactly the same but sort of made up for the leap. The only thing I can say that is REMOTELY difficult with the truck is fighting the urge to drive it[8D] Sorry to hear about your car.

So you got rid of the SRT huh... thats crazy... I have always loved the the cummins and figured its about time for me to buck up. I love to do alot of fishing and hunting so i figured the right way to go is with the mega.

As far as upgrades i understand that the bully dog sys is good along with the intake and exhaust. Just a question but how much has these upgrades run ya'll on average.

Rudy

Average cost of a programmer is about 500 (+6000 new trans if you don't upgrade the tranny[:@]). 500 to put gauges in to monitor things. $15 for a straight pipe. 300 for intake elbow. 200 for a good intake filter setup. Leveling kit, bigger tire ect
