Performance Ready

LBz074x4 · 07-11-2008, 02:22 PM

I have a 2007 LBZ i just cut the muffler off and have afe stage 2 intake. I'm ready to get more out of my truck plus more out of the diesel that goes in it(avg mpg17). At anytime during the day/week i could have up to 30k behind it. So there are a few things i have to think about. Also anyone notice that with a load the 2500hd leaf spring aren't strong enough so any useful info will help(I'm kinda new to diesel performance) Thanks

Gauges, Turbo Back Exhaust, and a good programmer. Other will tell you what they think are the best programmers. I have no time with any of them.

Look into airbags for the rear. Lots of guys on here use em and swear by them. Inflate them for a big load, and drain em for stock ride when empty! Firestone's air bags are pretty popular. I'm sure the vendors on the site here will chime in. They're the way to go to get a good deal on some performance upgrades...

Welcome by the way!

i would look at a tuner or chip if wanting to go that route, i would recomend edge because of its adjustabiltiy, bump it down when towing turn up when playing.

some of the best programmers out there are Diablo,Quadzilla,ATS,PPE and EFILive.don't add more then 80-90RWHP and you'll gain roughly 2-3MPG with any of the programmers mentioned and you'll still be with in stock tranny limits.also do gauges.

You should go with a programmer and some gauges. When you get a programmer get one you can change on the dash. My diablo has to be plugged back in everytime I want to change the program. I like it but that part is a pain. Towing like you do the gauges are a must. I would also open up the exhaust to keep Exhaust gas temps down.
