    First time Cummins owner

    Howdy folks. I'm a first time Cummins owner and have wanted one for a long time. Been in Afghanistan as a contractor firefighter going on 5 years and haven't even been able to drive my new toy yet. Its a 2014 2500 Mega Cab and only thing on it right now is a 2" leveling kit and some wheels and tires because they were on it when I bought it. Will be hitting up Double R and a few other stores soon for some go faster toys and hoping when Im done to have a 6-700hp daily driver/towing rig. I have been doing a lot of reading/research on upgrades but any suggestions are welcome!

    @bamafire Welcome! Have you thought of putting in head studs? I don't know what tranny you have, but what about a valve body and/or a torque converter. With your target HP these would be a good foundation to build on.

    I have just don't know when I'll do it. I have the 68RFE and deff looking to do that plus a tune with Race ME. I'm doing full delete, tune, exhaust and intake and see where I want to go from there. What brand tranny part do you recommend? Haven't looked into that aspect too much.

    I ordered and received my valve body, ordered and am waiting on the torque converter ( hopefully this week ) from RevMax. They are a sponsor of this forum.
