bullet proof 6.0

Just got my truck back bullet proof oil & EGR kit, New heads w/ARP Studs, Garrett stage 1 turbo, radiator SCT Tuner replaced the Banks Six gun w/ PDA (for sale by the way). To add to the already installed Banks dual exhaust, air induction. Any advice on custom tunes?

Air kit really isn't necessary, in fact, can do more harm then good. I've got over 500HP at the rear wheels and I still use the stock setup. These aren't 7.3 engines that could use a boost in air over the stock system.

I would imagine that since you used the PDA that was your gauge setup. I would first get gauges before I would think about tunes. Even on a stock truck I would want gauges. I could be wrong, but most people get the PDA to also use as a gauge setup.

Yeah I'm not sure about which gauge system I'm going to use yet I've heard good & bad about the live wire

Yea. The 1st generation LiveWire and the 6.0 really didn't have that great of a reputation. Customer satisfaction is truly about 50/50.

Now with the second gen. LiveWire those issues may or may not be there.

The only thing that I really look for no matter what electronic (as far as PDA, LiveWire, DashDAQ etc) gauge system you were going for, I would make sure you have a spot to add in a fuel pressure probe along with an EGT probe.
