exhaust brake, which one to get?

im looking to get a exhaust brake for my 04.5 automatic, which one has the best stopping power and is the cheapest. does someone sell a kit with the trans controler and the brake? if i get a sps 62/14/71 will it still mount up to it?
thanks,
matt

pacbrake is very nice. More stopping power than the jacobs, and doesn't use the failure prone vaccum pump. No problems clearing the firewall with the pac either.

i got the BD brake and it is regulated to 65lbs back pressure to protect the motor from damage.

You should PM Harold-PacBrake on this board as he is a direct factory rep and is SUPER helpful with any questions you have about the brake. I have had mine on for over 70k and it is the best money I have ever spent on the truck.

The Pac can be bought right here though the DTR store. I got mine here, Lary took VERY good care of me, unbeatable price actually.
