As far as the tuner goes, the Superchips Flashpaq 3815 now supports the 5.9 and gives the best HP & Torque gains I've seen from any tuner. About 47 more HP and 60 more ft/lbs of Torque!!!

Exhaust, tuner and intake.

A lot of the guys over on the second gen are running an old school round air filter instead of a CAI.

Cruise over to the 2nd gen forum and see what they're doing over there. Those guys have been modding the 5.2L and 5.9L for a long time. Lots of good info on those engines over there.

yep, i should have said that too. i come to the 3rg gen for my body and a few other mods but when i want to find out about motor mods i mostly use the 2nd gen forum. although there are alot of guys here on 3rd gen that have already been through the 2nd gen stuff. i love this sight knowlege galore.
