Smile What do yall think of these mods?

Hi guys, i am new to this forum have been spending alot of time reading it over the last couple of months trying to figure out which mods are right for me. Here are the things that i want to do to it after my research:

Smarty

Donaldson muffler- I already have four inch exhaust with no cat

AFE stage 2 progaurd 7- I am wondering if this will be too loud for me please give me your input

Quadzilla commander- I like analoge gauges, but i like the fact that you can monitor 9 things with the commander and set alarms

Glacier fuel pump kit- I was wondering how long the pump in this kit will hold up

Mach 1.6 injectors- I'm not sure if i want these or not, I dont want my truck to smoke alot and dont really need the extra hp, i am just looking for more mpg and feel that with the other mods it might achieve that

I also plan on getting a new turbo later on down the road so i dont know if this might affect the other mods i want to do.

I also dont mind getting a good tranny after mine gives out.

My primary goals for getting all of this stuff is better mpg and hp, I am wondering if yall think i left anything out or if one of these things is not necessary, also if you feel i should switch brands on any of this stuff let me know. I also wanted to know if any of this stuff would do damage to my engine in any way if i drive it responsibly, i dont race my truck and dont intend to, like i said all im looking for is better mpg and i dont want my truck to be so slugish off the start.

My truck already has over 100k so im not worried about warranty issues.

I want to thank everyone in advance regarding these things.

it wont take long, i burnt up one tranny with smarty on stock torque management on 65hp and i was trying to drive conservative, it would slip everytime i tried to pass someone when my converter was locked in 4th

my new truck sounds like it is even too much for it also, i have smarty on 65hp and stock torque management and when it is locked up you can telll its too much for it to handle, i am eaither going to have to turn it down or buy some tranny parts. turning it down sucks though i may just have to cough up some cash for tranny parts, but i dont really want to

If you dont want your truck to smoke a lot, the smarty is probably not something to look into

Donaldson muffler = Good choice..

AFe = Another good choice whistle is awesome but I would save the coin and do a 53 ****** Whistler intake!!


Commander = another excellent choice!! But you can only monitor 4 items at once!!

GDP kit = Your doing good so far!!

Don't have any experienc with injectors? YET!!

Allthose mod's with the exception of the commander should yield you better mpg.. Just add a smarty inthere and you'll be set!

good choices. but hopefully that isnt the order in which you are going to install them.

commander FIRST, gotta have guages before you pump that thing up.

IMO swap out the stick for a turbo then later down the road add the injectors if you want too, but that much fuel = a lot of heat with the stock turbo. Other than that it looks good to me.
