Best Bang for the Buck

[ropinfool2]

Howdy all, I have a 03 Ca. edition CC 4x4. I am looking to get rid of the lag time that happens after you put your foot into the throttle. I hate that delay and slow acceleration. Any ideas on the best bang for the buck. Don't have much to spend. I've read about the edge ez, tow pro, plus a bunch of others. I will be towing a 35' 5th wheel with this truck, but right now I drive it to work and back every day (120 miles round trip). Thanks in advance. John

first gauges... need gauges before you add fuel. . PM Joe Donnelly, as he has an 04 with 500+ HP. I am sure he would be glad to talk to you, and give you more info than you know to do with.

When did he get a new truck? Did he keep Ol' Sickly?

Well this is my take on your "best bang for the buck " issue. I think the number one item to do first is a set of good gages. If you go with three, it would be BOOST, EGT,FUEL PRESSURE. That would be a great start. The next area to work on depends on your driving habbits. If you run alot of miles, highway and secondary roads then I think a good set of shocks would be welcome. And then a new AFE intake air system. This flows much more air, and the filters are washable. They I suppose some sort of fueling box.

Thanks for the input. Gages are a given, just trying to figure out which configuration I want. I want to get rid of the dead spot that happens when you first put your foot into it from a dead stop. I swear it takes 20 seconds to start moving and then another 20 to start picking up speed, I'm exaggerating a little I'm sure. That and the rough ride are my only complaints so far. Thanks again. John
