Best mods to start off with????

[dieselboost]

Hey Guys Im new to this forum...so be easy on me pls.
I have a Bone stock 06 LBZ and im looking to make some mods to this truck. I have been looking at the PPE Xcelerator ECONOMY or the PPE Xcelerator or even the Quadzilla STEALTH2 or the Diablo Sport Predator. Im also looking at going to larger exhaust ..but not sure if I should go with the 4" or 5" exhaust.
Any pros or cons on the programmers would be great...and on any other modifications you would reccomend as well.
Thanks, Travis

id do the PCV reroute and block the EGR first, id also do a trans go jr shift kit, let my trans survive for a while and held together for a few 13.0 runs.......after that depends on how crazy you wanna get with it, i had a MBRP 5" turbo back on my truck when i first started moding it, sounded real good.

Any suggestions on the Programmers? What is the sole purpose of Blocking off egr and relocating PCV?

 

[maddogg101920]

the PCV will pull oil thru your comp on your turbo and will line the inside of all your IC pipes and IC with oil.....heres a DIY on it.

the blocker plate on the EGR is so soot dosent go back into your intake and gunk up everything, theres some pics on here somewhere of one that wasnt blocked and when they pulled the manifold off there was soot caked up all along the walls on it.

either PPE or EFI for tuning.

Also
EGT and Boost gauges.
4" exhaust is enough but 5" has it's "Bling..."
Front end parts for 4wd. Sleeves and braces.

Unless you're looking for more than 500-600rwhp, the stock filter is just fine.

if i were you i would start with the trans go, then braces and sleves, guages, 5" Magnaflow exhaust (my opinion is bigger is always better and i beleve Magnaflow has the best quality exhausts out there) PPE tuning (or if you are going to go wild EFI Live and Pats tuning), Banks Ram Air.
I forgot to add in someplace the Pump rub kit

That should be a good start:hello:
