if you all want a good tuner, you need to try sct. I had a superchips. The superchips did wake it up a little, but the sct woke it up more. I also have k&n cai, 52 tb, 4bbl M-1 with 2bbl adapter, ud crank pulley, deleted 3rd cat, spintech true duals with x pipe. It runs pretty good now. The 180 t-stat was noticeable as well. If interested in sct do a search for hemifever, he has pretty good deals.

i like the K&N intake better, the best bang for the buck is the tuner,then 1.7HS then fastman. fastman was the 1st mod i did to the truck and i cant remember that much but it does do alot for throttle responce. and bringing the air into the motor.

the 3rd gen 5.9 you guys really have 3 cats ??

the 10x3 is too small not bringing in enoguh air to feed the 5.9 you would prob like the 14x3 better and get the k&n filter for it

the 180 just makes the 5.9 respond a lil better, feels less sluggish

the 10X3 does seem like its choking off the motor a little. i think im going to try the k&n cai over the 14x3 because it seems like the 14x3 sucks in a lot more hot air compared to what the k&n cai would

ya its the worst most stupid thing , it does kill HP and MPG also kills your cats and your 02 sensors

look down your throttle body for oil if there is your leaking im looking at the hughes airgap to fix it permantly

I thought the 180 helped on the low end throttle response. Just off idle. I have no numbers to back it up. What is your final goal for your truck. My 02 had 3 cats. Well I guess 2 precats on the downtubes, one at the y pipe. I removed the one at the y and went duals with x-pipe.
