PLEASE!!! what is the link or part number to those LT headers!! i have been looking like CRAZY!!!! and cant seem to find LTs for our 02 5.9!
Oh! and go with SCT! superchips does a good job (i have one, running 93 octane) But SCT does Much better! especially when Torque Managment is removed Oh! and Hughesengines even have a special tune for their famous Intake Manifold (which i have) that will increase about 10lbs/tq..to the rear!.. cant wait till i get mine

I am sorry the headers are shortys I sold the LTs my bad. I did the headers, intake, and exhast all at the same time so i am not reallly sure. with all three it did make a noticeable diff. I really want to find out about throttle body riser if it is worth it or not. and then gears and stall converter?

Just got my 5.9 long bed qc a week ago with a bad tranny. So far no mods, except having a custom built tranny, shipped out yesterday! It's supposed to have a hd torque converter, hd gears, high performance clutch packs, and a hd shift module for pulling ( we haul a 5th wheel camper). Can't wait to start modding the rest. Want to do the e fan upgrade at least. Not sure what else to do yet, a racing company owned my ram so I want to talk to them and see if they did anything else to the motor before I go to far.

i've got the SC 3865, k&n CAI, flowmaster 50 muffler with CAT elimination.

Norma3083006 - the throtle body riser won't make any difference as the fuel injection on these trucks is not in the throtlebody. Some guys like the look but that's all it does is raise your TB
