Welcome to the site.

Check out the 6.0L forum here, as it has a lot of information on your engine and how to get better performance/longevity out of it.

Don't be scared off if they give you a hard time about the Air Raid intake, as a lot of guys here are not a fan of them and will say so loudly.

Welcome aboard! What type of budget do you have for your goal? An SCT Xcal tuner will bring you more power than you'll expect for around $450. However you'll need to upgrade your exhaust and get some gauges or a monitor. Exhaust will cost around $375-400 and you can get a MSD DashHawk for $250 + an EGT probe (available soon to the public). Also, just FYI, the stock intake is the best solution up to 500hp. AFE is about the only recommended intake. The rest can allow too much dirt in and possibly dust the turbo. That of course is just from the information I have read here.

That's how it all starts at first. Oh I'll just add a few go-fast parts and then I'll be satisfied. Just a tuner, gauges, and exhaust. Next thing, it's injectors, studs, and now on the way of trying to get a bigger turbo. Biggest thing is how big is your budget or how much are you willing to go on your credit cards?
