    How is that edge juice with attidude? Now is that a moduale? I was looking at the PMT from BullyDog. I was impressed cause it gives you all your info. plus all your gauge read outs and its updatable. I also heard downloaders give alot more power then moduales. Do you have a picture of your truck?

    I dont have my f250 anymore.Took the edge off when i sold it.The edge juice with attitude gives you all your readouts.egt boost trans temp engine temp .It is ajustable on the fly and it will make a huge diffrence from stock.It will defuel if you go beyond the perameters that you set,I recommend a cold air intake and bigger exaust before you install any of the modules.

    Thanks. Is 5" going to be pretty much over kill on a pretty much stock truck?

    The 6.0 uses powdered metal connecting rods. These are very brittle and don't take well to increases in horsepower. Form what I have read as long as you don't get radical and go above 400 hp you should be safe. If you do want to go higher plan on replacing those rods with aftermarket forged steel ones before you increase the hp or you will have one coming through the block.
