Need (would like) a little more power

[dward]

I have an 03 4x dually with the HO/auto and 3:73's. I added the Banks exhaust after buying it.

It does ok, but I would like to keep it from shifting down to 3rd on the smaller hills or driving into a headwind. (towing or carrying a camper)

I am looking for reliability and longevity so nothing to radical. I had the AFE intake system on but removed it as I heard it didn't filter as well as the stock system and the stock flowed plenty of air.

I'm thinking of maybe 50-75 hp and 150 ft/lbs if I can do it safely.

I've considered the edge and Banks. Prefer to not have to worry about setting of codes or any other problems.

What are some of your recommendations?

I also assume upgrading the trans wouldn't help as it is in lockup when towing. Would doing the TQ and Valve Body make any difference.

Quadzilla's XZT 65 hp box is the ticket for what your after. Quadzilla

Smarty Easy to use, upgradable, dependable, Returns to stock easily and nothing left behind for the dealer to find.

Try the Diablosport powerpuck. I have one on my 99 and it put my power range right where you want it. Now, mine is a manual (and 4 yrs. older) so power outputs may be different, but, they advertised 50 horse and 150 lb/ft.

Do you have guages?? I would buy some 50hp nozzles and call it a day...

I have the Edge w/Att. , I am happy with it, adjustable as you drive, monitor for information (boost,temp,etc) ,easy to install ( only tricky thing may be drilling for pyro ), adds a lot of power in different levels,, no problems at all so far

The first thing to consider after you get gages, is how important it is to you being adjustable on the fly. This ranks very high on my list.



Also, I've ran my aFe for over 300,000 miles and my silicon level has always been below average.
