LLY: Mild build question

[jbduramax]

I am going to be installing a few things on my truck after tax returns and I have a question. what I will be installing is:
S&B CAI with intake elbow
PPE 3" DP
MBRP 5" DP Back exhaust
EGR blocker
Edge Insight
EFI Live

Now my question is can I safely do these mods without upgrading my CP3 or doing an aftermarket lift pump. I'm not trying to do anything crazy with it as it is my DD. I plan to do them eventually just don't quite have the funding to do it right now. thanks for any help and advice you can provide.

I personally would skip the downpipe and intake and spend that money on the liftpump. I would, however, still do the LBZ mouthpiece (since you have an LLY).

Downpipe and intake have very little (if any) impact on a stock truck, IMO.

I agree with BAC And your stock cp3 is good to about 600rwhp if it is healthy so no need to change it with stock trans.

Do the month piece skip the intake do a lift pump then save for trans. 5 speeds don't handle much

When the trans comes out is the time to do the down pipe if you're going that far. You may think you won't now, but i didn't think i would either.

^ What posters 2,3,4 &5 said.... Trans will probably need upgraded so save your money for that, downpipe and xfer case pump rub fix.

Here is some dyno info on the down pipe and mouth piece that Empire Diesel was nice enough to share.

X2 on the lift pump. The trans is a big investment. I never did mine until 145k and it finally needed it. Depends on if you want to prevent a tranny problem or deal with it when it comes. When mine went out as long as I took it easy the truck would get me from here to there. If I got on the skinny pedal too much it would limp but if I pulled over and turned it off I'd be down the road again.

Yeah gonna throw a 150gph air dog on it I think. Then just drive it till the tranny goes and throw a new one in it

I am guessing but you may have a head gasket repair in your future. I would be saving for that as well. ARP studs will be a good choice when that is apart. Also would look at the water pump at that time as well

Lift pump was night and day on my basically stock truck. I've got an AD 165 for sale if you're interested.

I personally wouldn't skip the intake. We have done extensive testing in house on our dyno and found solid gains with the S&B intake. The smallest amount of horsepower picked up was 22 on a totally stock lbz. We saw even higher numbers on the lml.

With your lly, doing the mouthpiece and a S&B intake will really help you out. My 2 pennies.
