Did you sell the old tuners as you bought new? I think many of us did the "progression" like that, but selling the old made some money back.

to answer your question...exhaust, intake, lift pump....the basics. IIRC, that was also with spring clamps, stock shocks and reducing weight to 6450lbs.

I was only able to sell the super chip still have edge and the quadzilla took a dump. I still run my stock air box I bought an Airaid when I had stacked chips and I lost a tenth off my 60 time and didnt gain anything on the other end but with this PPE it may help.

S&B intakes or Banks. S&B is probably the best for the dollar out there.

x2 , i like the Banks and have always heard great things about the S&B . As far as tuning goes EFI will always trump a hand held tuner , simple because it give the ability to fine tune to the truck , we all know not all trucks act the same to tuning , some hold great rail pressure other dont , some are faster ( cogh , cough Tom :D) stock than others . Go with EFI it will be the last tuner you ever buy and will work on any truck you buy after words regaurdless of year as long as you get the V2 .

S&B, hands down best bang for the buck.

Me? Naw...you must be mistaken. :rofl: There isnt a handheld tuner out there that can match EFIs potential.

True that holding rail pressure is key with a stock setup. Nick used to tell me that other people would run that "12.40" tune and come nowhere close to what I ran, then call and complain. He'd look at a log and usually their rail pressure would drop off under 20,000psi at higher rpm. My truck usually held 21,500-22,000psi before the modded regulator.
Now, with a stock LBZ reg, its holding 25,500-26,000psi on 2400us/25* -- with my same 157,000 mile stock LB7 pump, too. :) Guess its time to turn her up.

I think my truck does good on fuel pressure, I had Shane log for when I first put my suncoast in to check the shifts. I not sure what all the numbers were but Shane can post it for me. He told me I could call for more with EFI but overall its not bad at all now.

Pauls truck was holding around 20,500 instead of the asking 23,000. He could surely benefit from EFI live and some tweaking.
