Hey guys i have .... wait let me rephrase that. my wife has an 02 duramax 4x4 crew cab and its time to add a little more power. i know an exhaust will help alot but what programer is the best to go with? i figured i'ld ask the experts first and then ill figure which way to go. thanks guys!

 

I had a 02 crew cab, short bed, 4x4, which i regret selling!!
I had a drop in K & N, modified the stock air box, and took off muffler and replaced it with a piece of 3" pipe- then I put a Edge "Hot Box" 150hp and 350tq w attitude- talk about surprising people with a fast big truck. Would break the 285 BFG A/T loose from 20mph and would run a consitent ---14.40-14.41 in the 1/4" mile here in Hot West Texas. They are fun trucks!! I then went with a full 4" exhaust, but did not get to take it to the track again.


BTW- I have the hot box forsale. Guy that bought the truck did not want to give me more money for it.

 

I thank edge is the best mod for the Duramax..It's like night and day difference.. Then if that is not enough you can always go twin turbo..TT max
This is a good forum to go to about duramax proformance stuff..>http://dieselplace.com/forum/index.php?

 

ooz71- How much do u want for the hotbox? And can you tell me where you got it so i can do a little research on it. thanks

 

Buy an egt gauge first and Install it..Then chip it...

 

4" downpipe and catback, edge juice chip (we sell em) and yehawwww. We do that package to about 15 duramax trucks per month

 

Best advice I will ever give.

Do the trans first, period. Either full ATS or Suncoast level5 or TTS trans. This way you can stack as many programmers as you like, no need to worry about the trans ever. If you get to greedy on the edge hot juice, you might limp it, once it limps it just keeps gettin worst.

pay now, so you can add stupid power later.

 

yeah, I think I saw that show "hot rod" last weekend and they hooked up a that hot box "the edge" and I was so surprise to what that thing could do, it even made me think about getting me a diesel!!! I dont know what the price is but I think it is pretty much worth the money...

 

What about the banks 6 gun? I saw them hook that up to a Ford PS and it really made it perform. I'm pretty sure they make them for Chevy's to. I'd say beefed up trans, intake exhaust and programmer and you should have on fast truck.

 

For the LB7 (2001-2004 VIN = xxxxxxx1...) the most powerful tune is probably the TTS Extreme. It WILL limp your tranny though. If you don't want to freshen up the trans, get the Edge w/Attitude. It comes with a Pyrometer to monitor exh temps, and can be set instantly for 5 different power levels. Stay at <70rwhp to avoid trans wear. You can occassionally dial it up to Level 5, but eventually you will limp it.
