Ditch the Jet, I've seen dyno's where you actually lose power with them. Superchips Flashpaq 3815 has huge gains with the 5.9. A couple of guys in the 2nd gen section have attested that their "Butt Dyno's" are verifying Superchips' claims...

Of course, you could always put in an SC or stroke it to like a 408. OR you could Boost it & Stroke it! Now you are talking power! But those choices do cost a little more than the Superchips...

Stage II? It does make a little bit...

But seriously, go to the 2nd gen section (you'll find 200X more on your 5.9 there anyway - not that you're not welcome here too) and read some of the recent posts or ask. One guy returned his because he said he didn't "feel" $300 worth of more power, but he's not indicative of the others over there or the dozen or so guys I've read on other forums that got the Superchips 3815 since they upped it to have 5.9 support. And I'm not saying this because I have one, mine is actually coming off the truck in favor of a custom SCT tune before too long...

I lived on Clarks Hill Lake for about three years and two places in south Ga. for a total of 11 more up until about two years ago. Was just through Atlanta in June on my way to camp up above Clayton, Ga. for a few weeks...
