help with 6.0 tuner/chip!
My friend and his dad has a set of 06 SD's 6.0 liters. They want to gain some horsepower by chip or programmer and install a exhaust and intake. What type of power module do you guys recommend for the 06 6.0?
Thanks in advance.

SCT or SCT Custom for the Scary Edge of performance.
MBRP 4" Exhaust
AFE OEM replacement filter element, stock replacement filter is about 80 bucks...the AFE can be cleaned and fits into the stock filter housing you already have.

Problem with most A/M intake systems is they make outrages claims about increasing Torque & Hp with a simple air filter change. Most of the time even in a racing situation the claims don't hold up. Also in order for the A/M filter to increase air flow through the filter media, you have to increase the hole size in the filter media, thus you let in more dirt.
I do agree with "BowTieHatr" that the factory 7.3 intake was poorly designed.
For the 7.3 crowd there now is a Donaldson Powercore intake system available. Which will give the 7.3 crowd the great filtration and flow benefits of the Powercore system.
Hope this helps
