with the big tires you have i wouldn't run more then setting 2 on the PPE but other then that you'll love the extra power..
one tip,save up for a tranny upgrade and then some more power..

Why can't I run level 3 with the big tires? Could I run it with the stockers? Also at level 2 will it hurt my tranny?

The larger tires are already putting a little stress on the tranny, so level 3 + large tires would be too much. You could run level 3 with stock size and be pretty safe, but would still be at the limit of the stock tranny.

Like you are Level 2 is pretty safe, just watch the WOT 4-5 and 5-4 shifts, this is when you are most likely to slip the tranny.

Ohh ok, that makes sense. I can't wait for it to come in. I wanna feel the power and I wanna read the correct mph again. Is it not safe to tow on level 2, roughly 6k of towing?

As long as you watch the EGTs you should be fine towing on level 2.

The stock intake is good, you don't really need a aftermarket intake until you starting getting into the Big HP. I wish i would have just stuck with the stock one my self.

The ac delco is just as good as any. No matter what don't go with K&N, they tend to let too much dirt through and also causes a lot of MAF sensor Problems.

The Turbo mouthpiece is the most restrictive part of the intake system. None of the intake companies fix this problem with their aftermarket systems. Killerbee has a fix for it that will help with the LLY overheating problems.
