Stock Truck Upgrades
I have a 2001 2500 HO 6 Speed. I was wondering how much power the stock drive train, and fuel system can handle? Second I was also wondering what the best route to go for adding power, I wanted to go with a adjustable box, but I was wondering if it is better to go ahead and first upgrade the fuel system then add a box second to avoid any possible problems. I want to add about 150 Hp and maybe 250-300 Lb Torque, however I want to do this right and not run the risk of hurting anything in the long run. Any suggestions on what the best box is would be good too, I have always thought it is better to buy the best first and not regret it later when the bargain ends up costing you more money. Thanks a lot for any suggestions you can give.

If you want to bomb I'd first buy a set of gauges and drive with them for some time.
EGT, fuel pressure and boost- after determining a baseline and seeing if everything is up to par you can start thinking of bombing.
With the HO I'd go for a fueling only box and some injectors- either RV275s or DonMs EDM stuff. You'll need a bigger turbo and a better clutch then. (More or less, depending on what you want to do with the truck)
