thinkin bout gettin a 04 LLY, and have sum questions

[SparkZ03DMAX]

ok, so i plan on gettin a 04 lly dmax, and i want to put a chip on it, intake, exhaust, etc. but from wat ive been told ppe is the way to go for a chip/programmer. so i plan on goin wit the ppe, but i dont want to change the transmission or pumps, so wat ppe should i go with?

PPE standard or economy. I would suggest the standard since it can be upgraded if you ever decided to, it will also be easier to sell if you ever wanted.

PPE Standard, MBRP 4" turbo back exhaust, AFE Stage 2 intake, Autometer Gauges(Boost and Pyro) and your set...

Id hit up KillerBee on here and get a new mouth piece for the intake, the new mouthpiece will keep your truck from overheating if it ever does...

This is correct, only reason I put that on there is because he said he wanted one, aftermarket intakes are of no help unless you are running about 500 or more HP...

BUT on the LLY's a aftermarket mouth piece will take care of the over heating that the LLY's are prone to...

Tuning=from money savers to the best,Diablo,Quadzilla,ATS,PPE and EFILive,which is by far the best
Exhaust=4" is plenty,Silverline,MBRP and Magnaflow
CAI=AFE,Volant,Banks and AirAid
now it has been discussed wether or not a CAI is needed but here is my take on it,after running a modded box then switching to a Stage 2 AFE Pro Dry CAI i noticed a slight difference when stock but when i'm tuned to 500+HP i realy notice a difference so its up to you so if you have the extra cash buy one if not i would spend it on the EFILive.
Tranny=dont add more then 80-100RWHP and your tranny will run for a long time.PPE rates theirs at the flywheel so level 3 is fine but dont tow with it.
gauges are a must in my book,look at the AutoMeters

From what I have read aftermarket air intakes do NOTHING. They are a great way to waist money and suck more shit into your engine. Thank you k&n/afe. I read somewhere the k&n filter assy. only flows 0.15% more air. Not worth is. Do the air box mod and or lbz intake and mouthpeice and you will be set.
