Great looking Rig Scott! 2 of my friends just picked up Powerstrokes so I've been looking at them lately on Autotrader and such lol. I'd love to have one.

I'll try to make a couple meets this year and let you take a drive in my truck and let you decide on some mods you might want to do to yours.

Also before you go to a tuner i would like to suggest getting guages (Boost, Pyrometer, and Trans.) to monitor how much psi your pushing, and how hot your truck and transmission is getting.

P.S. Please don't go banks tuner. Try DP-Tuner or Swamps Diesel, or Tony Wildman custom tuning. It's much better than a tuner with off the shelf tunes.

Looks good, make sure you go with a straight 5 inch exhaust! You'll be smacking your self in the head if you don't

Smartest post in the entire thread.

x2. Sounds about a 1,534,384 times better than a 4"

My opinion.. in this order. Intake, exhaust, gauges (Boost, EGT, and Trans temp), and then get a TS 6 position chip from Swamps Performance Diesel. Personally I like Swamps but you'll have good luck with any of the tunes Shane mentioned.

Don't get Banks.

To be honest Freddie i wish i would have went with swamps first. Don't get me wrong Jody did an awesome job live tuning my truck but I would like to try something else. When i got mine, Jody was the one recommended to me. Now i have seen what swamps has done and i am debating on switching over.

I don't blame you. I have a LOT of confidence in them. Jody and others do a great job of tuning, but I swear by Swamps. I have their hybrids, tuning, etc. After I get a BTS in the truck, its going back down to them to get larger nozzles.

Depending on what mods you want to do I would suggest the DIY intake to get you started

I want to make a new metal intake later, but the DIY does just fine.

I agree with the Swamps opinion. I have my transmission upgraded with BTS internals. There is just something i am starting to not like with my DP. Not knocking on it. Just my opinion really.

I really like your OBS Freddie. Plus I'm jealous of the crew cab lol.

Scott the DIY Intake will do just fine for you for now IMVHO.
