Im in trouble.

Just got truck back from shop. Got it straight piped. It sounds outstanding, and i can't keep my foot off the skinny pedal. So much for a little better fuel economy. So where does it all end? Now i really want to do head studs, egr delete, tunes, and thinking between the DashDaq or the Banks IQ. Good thing im not married.

If you are going to do tunes, make sure you have gauges. Either get them before or at the same time but don't run the truck without a way of knowing what is going on in there.

You may need to marry into some money but it you want to do it right gauges, studs, egr delete, bigger turbo and sticks will let you feed that speed daemon. GoGo diesel makes a stage I intake manifold that delete's egr and is a thing of beauty. Innovative diesel has a regulated return that helps with higher fuel demands. Xtreme diesel has a good price on a Powermax turbo.

Don't forget a coolant filter from dieselsite and maybe throw in a water/meth kit. Stick to SCT programmers and get custom tunes from Matt at Gear Head automotive performance or from Eric at Innovative IRC.

If your area is getting into smogging diesels as many are, watch what you do! Could cost you big time.
