When you say "baddest" define..Are you wanting fastest, best pulling, best looking?

Ditch the bullydog
Get EFI live, that a 100% improvement right there
Suncoast Gmax 5pac, FASS and you should be good for 450rwhp all day long

EFI live only harder if you dont know what your doing with it.

canned is like "one size fits all"

not all trucks are exactly the same and some perform better with the same tunes on them
