i have an 04 6.0 runs well i am curious i want approx 60 more hp and say like 70 to 80 ft pound more torque. what would be the best downloader. i have stock exhaust and intake and most likely will leave it that way. i do tow 2 horses but mostly drive the truck. reliability is important but a bit more power would be great. edge evolution? bully dod downloader?
melmount and thanks in advance

in my opinion, i would at least put in some good gauges to measure boost & exhaust gas temperatures (EGT's), and better tranny gauge too.

you can gain some of that HP with a good 4" exhaust, you could also upgrade the air intake, but the 6.0 stocker is a pretty good system by itself.

most tuners are gonna be able to deliver much more HP than just the level you are asking about. i am not really sure which one would be the best for you.

SCT tuners can be custom tuned to your application, and there are about 5 or so custom tunes that can be done. anywhere from a 30, 50, 70, 100, 150 HP gains.

try one of the vendors here at SDD, like discount power parts.

i personally think the bully dogs the best. it has a good solid 50 horse program on it. that is my choice. and u can try it before you buy it.

IMHO... and on my third deezle Ex...
Before you do any hp upgrade... at least get rid of the stock boat anchor exhaust - one - it is very restrictive - and two it weighs a TON :)

best, but most 'invasive', is a 4 inch turbo back system, second best a good cat back, third best, but least invasive, is something like a Walker BTM muffler like I did for about $75 installed...

Then, once you get that 40 hp upgrade I GUARANTEE you will want more....
bet the farm on it :)

so go with the SCT, it IS the best out there and can be tuned to fit your driving style to a T.... also controls the tranny best on the market ! and will increase your mpg if you don't use the new found hp too much :)

good luck and have fun !
