i tried the banks six gun and i have had nothing but problems with it i just wanted to try something different but i wouldnt reccomend it if your looking for cheaper mods but stall quility aem makes a pretty sweet inteke the brute force hd but if you wats to spend a little more you could go with the AFE stage two intake, than i would probably go with bagger exaust four or five inch turbo back and a tunner like diablo sport or something of the sort. i would reccomend the edge juice with attitude but it has some more agressive tunes with its fueling but its what i have and it does a pretty god job but with it turned up all the way im having problems with it over fueling a little ... just my imput!

depends on how crazy you want to get, efi live is more than capable if eating your stock transmission alive, but its how you tune it really determines how long itl live

thanks for the help wanted to ask about the ppe what level do you have it on and did you stack the quad xzillerader on it?

if you tune it to blow your trans then it will, but it can make safe power too

X2 on EFIlive. Its a little overwhelming at first but once you get it figured out theres so much more you can do than with a plug and go tuner. You can tune for anything you want, whether thats a trans safe tune or 500+ race tune the possibilities are nearly endless. I'm currently running past my trans capabilities but with EFIlive I've made it last.

A warning though its the power is addicting, you'll always be wanting to add just a little more, then a little more its fun to experiment.

If you go with EFIlive there good help on here 2500HeavyDuty started a thread for EFIlive basics that would help get ya going.
