I just found this site, started lookin' through it and decided to join, wonderin' about chips, stackin' boxes on top of each other, or pretty much anything helpful

Welcome to the site.

With the duramax most people don't recommend stacking boxes together. As far as tuners PPE, ATS E-power, and Diablo are all good. No matter which one you go with keep it under 90 hp on the stock tranny and get some guages to monitor boost and egt.

Welcome to the site.

Thanks, I have been lookin' at the PPE and the ATS E-Power, and I wasn't plannin' on doin' anything at all until after I get atleast a better clutch

I didn't notice a while ago, i just assumed you had the alli. From what i have heard the zf will take a lot of power once you get a good clutch.

yea, that was what I have heard also, that the clutch would slip with the added power, but other than that it would do just fine

with the stock clutch don't add more then 50-60HP but after you do a double disk South Bend Clutch your good for lots of extra HP.
Programmers=PPE,ATS E-Power and the ultimate is EFILive and don't stack programmers and chips.

Thanks, I haven't looked at the EFILive yet, but I'll have to look

**TYREBOYZ_DEMAXIN** · 01-31-2008, 02:47 PM

i should mention,to run the a programmer with 150HP to it's full potential you really need to do lift pumps.
some other stuf to think about-exhaust,CAI,Turbo boost vavle and most important gauges.

it's straight-piped right now(plannin' on gettin' a bigger downpipe), would I need to get a different exhaust
