Default Question..

I am currently wanting to kick up the HP a little bit on my truck, but without throwing out tons of $$.

I was thinking of adding a triple guage pod, EGR delete, and some custom Innovative SCT tunes.

What tune would be safe to run WITHOUT head studs? And also what guages should i get to moniter?

Truck is an 03 6.0 with the 5R110 tranny.

yea man i understand how that goes.. i tried to cram a fishing pole in the back of mine and no joke the hook caught the corner of it somehow... ripped a gash in it... i got 5% all the way around, but they stripped the 2 front windows then put 5%.. i meant just add the 5% overtop of everything, but i guess i wasnt clear enough.. i know the guy though so its all good
