I vote just tuner. Need MPG for cruising, not loud noises from intake exhaust. Plus all that racket will drown out the DVDs! Cant wait to haul 15k of fun to VIR.

sct tuner, best for the powerstroke.

edge,banks are over hyped, over priced and underpowered.

The SCT has the most options for the powerstroke and is aimed towards the powerstroke like the PPE tuner is aimed at the duramax

i got yanked by a power stroke in the camaro back when it was stock, i believe it had some “stage 1” banks package, something like that. High 13s are pretty quick for a big ass truck, might’ve even been faster than high 13s

My brother might sell his Bullydog but I dont know if it will work on your truck if its newer than an '05 or '06. There might be a software upgrade available though.

I intend to keep the custom 22’s and have street tires, for around town…and to have stock wheels, or afdtermarket strong , less bling, for winter and towing. Finding used or take-off dually wheels, with all 6, is a bitch!
