They are all pretty evenly matched IMO. I run a CFM+. You will not see any significant power increase, maybe a drop in egts. Really not a worth while mod unless you are running large amounts of air.

Have you done an air intake yet? If not, look into the S&B one or Volant.

Also not really a fun factor but gauges are a vital part of any diesel. I recommend a Boost, Pyrometer, Tranny Temp if you have an auto, a fuel pressure, and rail pressure gauge.

If you go here:Price Quote - Request A Price - Diesel Bombers and ask our vendors to give you a quote on what you want, they can usually get some great deals on just about everything.
