Default Adding Power

Im looking into adding a wicked wheel 2 wheel and headstuds to my truck that only has a bully dog tuner. Will it give me a reasonable amount of power, or should i go another route adding more power?

I'm not sure about the bully dog, but my 08 with deletes and a programmer made about 500hp/1100lbft. Stock turbo, head bolts, etc.

That sounds bad ***. I saw a dyno online of my same truck with the bullydog on extreme with a completely stock truck including stock exhaust run 464 Hp and 971 Ft pds. Maybe i will delete first before doing anything else then. Hopefully deleting will also bring my mileage back up too.

Yeah, those were manufacturer claimed numbers, but my first day at the track I ran fairly consistent 13.8s with the lumber rack and tool box on, chains and straps in the box, and 60psi in the tires.

Wicked wheel is hype. The wheel is bigger, but the turbo body is the same diameter. Bullydog not the best for diesels. H&S. EFI live.

I only bought the bully dog to unlock my ecm, but since i had it i tuned it untill i figure what i wanna do next. Im gonna go with efi live and the csp5 switch. My friend runs it on his truck and hes deleted and it runs like a beast!

shouldn't need the headstuds if you aren't going to be pushing that much higher boost. wicked wheel should give more but its more for quicker spooling. you want a lot more power i would consider injectors with an fass lift pump supplying, and a better tune h&s or EFI live. turbo options would be good if you go a lot bigger on the injectors. full delete if its not already.
