06 325hp upgrade

What the hot new chip and intake for the 06?
Have a 4" Banks cat back exhaust would like a tuner and do I need an intake or will a drop in AFE be enough?

never go wrong with a smarty Jr or Sr. I like the S&B cold air intakes. Gauges of course

If you are still using the stock turbo, the stock box will flow enough for the most part; your filter minder will tell you quickly if you have enough or not. I used an airraid myself for a long time with great results. I did swiss cheese the box some though. If/when you get to flowing a lot more air (the smarty sr will do that)and that filter minder pulls down often, then you will require the aftermarket intake.

x2 on the gauges.

Good Luck!

I had a Juice with Attitude before the Smarty Jr came out so I guess I'm happy with my setup. Everyone else likes the Smarty.

All I can tell you that when I tow my fifth wheel at a Gross Combined Weight of 22,880 lbs, at 65mph with the Juice set on the Tow position, in the hills, with the cruise control on, you better get out my way as it won't come off 65mph. I can easily excerate to 80 mph with the trailer on a hill. EGT's remain low (<1250) unless I really step in it, as the boost approches 40lbs. The only thing that increases is the engine temp by about 4 degrees.

The tow position is advertized at 365hp and 730 FtLbs of Torque. There are two more positions not including the Hot Unlock code. The Drive position is advertised at 780ft Lbs of torque. If I go to a 4:56 gear I will be able to run
the Drive Position.

I'd like to try a Smarty.

I'll look at some info on one. If its comparible to the Juice I might consider it. My normal EGT towing in the hills 1020 to 1150 with the cruise on. By hills I mean out RT40 from I-95 or running up I-81 from Knoxville to Harrisburg.
