True Blue's transformation thread
Purchased the truck totaly stock 2 summers ago with the plan of it being just a daily driver. Ended running into a great deal on a small suv and decide to turn it into my toy. as Truck sits now it has 74,000 miles on it and has had the body redone for some rust issues and a few hopefully tasteful mods. Im starting this thread to stop posting new threads everyday! LMAO so ill start with a list of modifications and follow with pics.

just purchased a edge cs programmer tonight!!!! super stoked!
|
With your mods, you'll want to send it to a third party tuner such as PHP so they can custom tune it. The CS out of the box is made for a stock engine, tire size, gear ratio, ect ect.

I think you got the most expensive part out of the way in buying the programmer. I don't have custom tunes though so I can't tell you what they'll run you. Several others have the custom tunes though and I've not heard anyone who was displeased with the power gains.
