Question Quadzilla or PPE?

I will be buying a lb7 duramax, this truck will be my daily driver and will have to last me through threw college the most towing it will see is 2 seadoos.. Well with that said what would be the best tuner for my needs Quadzilla or PPE? I Want to be able to show these 7.3 guys in town whats up and roal some coal when need be... I wont be able to buy a new tranny anytime soon... So it will need to be a safe reliable set up.. I will get a afe stage 2 cold air, and a 5" strait pipe as well. Any info or suggestion are greatly appreciated.


Thanks, Dylan

well first off i would not go with an intake! there good for up to 500hp!! so just save your money!! for the exhaust i would def go for that and the tuner i would say quad stealth2. i use to run this and loved it ran mine on 90hp all the time! dad still has the quad also and he still loves it! ppe is not bad either i just have never had one!

Thanks everyone for the quick responses.. So say i get the quad i can run it on 90 all the time and on say the weekends bump it up to 135, will that be okay on the tranny? Is it safe to do a 4wd launch with those mods and just tie rod sleeves?

Thanks Dylan,
