its been a long time waiting for, but looks like I will be getting out the tools and doing some mods on my 06 3500 express van too. personally I think I am going to start by insulating the interior, rip of the factory exhaust and go 4 inch turbo back, no cat no muffler, block the egr. I am thinking about efi, definatly a moniter with egt probe. going to change the trans and rear end pans to larger capacity. and I am also seriously considering adding some form of injection system maybe meth/water, maybe propane, maybe natural gas. (any vendors want to get me a package deal price?)
I'd like to get this van up closer to the performance I see in my lbz silverado. I know it won't be the same, but closer. this is my plan. the guys in here with vans know a lot and have done a lot too. read up, you will get some good ideas.

it should be a fun couple of months. hardest part will be getting it on without the wife seeing all the boxes showing up.

Just tell her you had some problems with the van and its just parts to repair it.
