There are several different kits, some just replace parts others are a modded intake as I listed above. It all depends on you and what you decide you want out of the product. The kit above is made by one of the best 6.0 guys that really knows his stuff. He can get you all the instructions needed to do the work. This type of mod is a cab on or if other work requires the cab off the work can be done then.

You can get the RCD kits for under $300shipped. That's what I'm going with. The gogo kit is nice, and so is FCDP's kit. All comes down to how much you want to spend and how you want to block or delete things... There really aren't any "bad" kits.

yall seem to know alot about all this and i appreciate the advice. I was wondering if i should get GOGO's kit but the 425 one is it worth the money even if its not the 1200 stage one kit? Do i need to get head studs? and do i need new intake gaskets my truck does have 174000 miles on it. and if i get all this done is it a cab on procedure cause i cant affored a cab off one.

Taking the cab off is usually quicker and easier. However if you dont have the lift to do it, then your options are limited.

I would definitely get the intake gaskets with that many miles.

The 1200 stage 1 kit is sweet, but what are you planning on doing with the truck? I think that's more for the guys who are doing "all out builds" but it wouldn't hurt to have it. It's a lot of $ though....

Gogo's $425 kit is nice and Doug is one of the most knowledgable guys when it comes to the 6.0

Head studs are not always needed, but never hurt on these motors.

What are your plans with the truck? What do you use it for, and how much HP do you want to be making?

Dont mean to steal your thread Pigg but when you do the EGR delete do you have to worry about emissions? Like will it show up on emissions testing? I know Texas doesnt really have emission testing yet but still you never know when they are guna bring the testing in the state. And the EGR delete says its "For Offroad Use Only" but everyone gets the deletes anyways and the truck is their daily driver...when they do inspection how do yall get away with having it deleted? I cant say its for Agricultural use yet cuz i dont have any ag. land and im still in college (end of fish yr) Any replies would be great, Thanks. And again, Sorry Pigg if i stole your thread ...also Pigg black smoke = wasted fuel...go for power not smoke. You want your truck to last longer...treat it right by adding and deleting the right things and dont make it smoke like a freight train from hell.
