Welcome to SDD D50E.

Lots of different options on the performance areas you want to change.

Lots off opinions too. Most will say to keep the stock air filter system and it is a good system. Probably the best bang for you buck in terms of exhaust would be a MBRP system.

The bestt tuner I have ran on my 6.0 is a custom tuned SCT tuner. It will also in tranny performance with quicker and smoother shifts.

Lots to consider eh?

BSG- Thanks for the exhaust advice... You are right- there are a dizzying array of products(Probably a good thing)! Where did you get your head studs from and what brand head gaskets did you install?

The head studs were from Elitle. ARP head studs are cheaper but just as good according to thos who have bought them. The head gaskets are Ford OEM.

I am with Bush on the stock trucks run great and reliable. By the way, there is no throttle body on these trucks, so no spacer.

Thanks for the info Dave. . .I just turned 42k and i think my factory "rancho" shocks are exhausted... Looking at a set of bilstein 5100s. By the way what kind of gauges did you install/Are you happy with them?....etc. I am also currently shopping for a set of gauges myself. ANY input greatly appreciated!
