    Thanks!

    So far I am up in the air, I am in the process of getting into track racing (I have other toys for that) So I am wanting to maybe build the truck to have utility to it for hauling a fifth wheel car trailer, or maybe just a regular style car trailer, then I could do a 2 inch leveling kit and 35 inch tires and still take it off roading!

    Aside from that, I am still pricing out exhaust kits and looking at a 57 series intake from K&N as well. I am kind of open to suggestions for it thus far haha, I need minor bodywork, and want to upgrade the stereo some more as well haha

    2oo6 25ooHD 6.oL,
    Current:
    Airaid MIT
    AFE Dry Flow Filter
    Twin Magnaflow 14419's

    Next part is up for debate

    I would buy the muffler you want then take it to a shop for them to build the exhaust setup you want, I wouldn't bother with the CAI, and get a tune from Nelson

    For exhaust, I am still debating if I want a true dual set up or stock style.
    I have to ask why you say nay to the intake? I am looking at the fuel injection performance kit to help with the fuel mileage (6.0ls are thirsty trucks lol) Or is there a better way for better mileage?
    A Tune from Nelson? Not familiar with Nelson.

    Have been touring thru the site a bit, kind of debating about being able to drag race my truck haha, a 6.0l should be aight for power if the right tuning and parts are done right? lol

    I think stock style would look best, I say nay to the intake because I just think it's a waste. I would buy a drop in AEM Dryflow filter and call it good.

    Nelson is a vendor on here

    AirRaid makes a MIT for your truck to replace the factory intake tube. Part # 200-912 I have a friend that had his truck dyno tuned and he added the MIT and a drop in filter and gained 10hp and 11lbft tq on a 6.2 crewcab without changing his tune. I would get the MIT if i could have done it again. Every little bit helps.
