Exhaust is ordered.
Also on the way:
1. Airaid 201-796 Airaid Jr Kit with intake tube and SynthaMax Oil-less filter.
I didnt want the cold air intake kit (exposed filter) because of the chance of water entering intake. Ive blown 3 spark plugs out of a motor before. OOOPS !
2. Airaid Poweraid Throttle body spacer. part number 200-617 .

About to order - input wanted :
Bully Dog GT Gas Programmer part # 40410
Bully Dog 33307 A-Pillar with tweeter hole
Bully Dog 30420 T-Slot Adapter
SEM Paints ABS paint prep/primer/paint to repaint the Bully Dog A-pillar to lt titanium.

What ya think ?
I'm debating the Superchips Vivid android based tuner. I know the android operating system pretty darn good from tuning/rooting cell phones.
The Vivid Looks and sounds awesome but, Do I want the phone looking control box ( has to have separate charger like a cell phone). You can purchase just the Bluetooth dongle and use your current phone with the Vivid app. Hummmm.
Thinking my phone gets enough attention as it is.
Ive found a really good deal on the Bully Dog ($319)

Id go with bully dog in my opinion, ive debated on running their programmer on my 6.0 chevy 2500 for awhile but i havent seen the results in person. But i have heard nothing but good results from both brands. Also let me know how that intake and throttle body spacer is on your truck id like to run that exact set up on mine to. By the way man the truck looks and sounds bad *** with everything your doing to it.

Installed the Airaid Throttle body Spacer and Airaid Jr Kit ( Intake tube and new oil less filter for factory box).
Simple install, done in 37 minutes. I havent had time to do any testing. Drove about 6 miles, what a difference in low end torque . The sound is awesome too. Not too loud , but, what a difference.
Exhaust parts are in, might install this weekend.
Bully Dog Next.
