Fuel pressure (must have), pyro & boost (boost being the least important)

Congrats on college.

 

congrats on the new truck . well like he said get some gauges fuel pressure is a must on these trucks if it drops below 8psi you could hurt your injection pump .also on the gauges you will want to get a boost ,pyro and a trans temp since you are running a auto. if your trans is in good shape now you might want to look at putting a vb/tc in there so you can start building more power . the stock tc is a weak point in these trannys . if you are on a tight budget get your gauges then get a vb or shift kit from like dtt or goerand . happy bombing the search for more power will only end when you let it

 

I did the same thing u did...

spank the ricers and frat kids, and cover them in soot in the process a time or two good feelin before u graduate school. Anyways congrats on your accomplishment, and good luck finding a job, Lord knows ull need it, i finished in december....

Gauges first, then u can get some more goodies, exhaust, intake, you already have a programmer, then u can get injectors, and really lay a hurting on them... and more so get some air!

Got an 02 myself and although I do not have huge horse power, I have made a few mistakes along the way...... Gauges and Air, then go for the Tranny. It's the expensive one but from what I have found here you won't regret it. I am going through the same problem myself as we speak.... DTT, Talk to Stephan. Good luck and run that 02 hard.
