Absolutely, there are tons of people that would be extremely happy. As a matter of fact there are probably more people running just 60hp than with all the other combined. 60hp is a lot to gain on a stock truck especially going from a bone stock truck. Not only can it add horsepower it broadens the torque curve and makes throttle responce a ton better.
Just because there are some very extreme people on here does not mean everyone has to do this to be happy.
He asked for 2 things:
1.) Bang for the Buck
2.) No other mods required.
The best fit for what he asked for is an XZT module, no questions asked.

Yours like mine is colored by our OWN experiences. For example,... I went to a EDGE Juice w/ attitude as my first box. About a dozen hard runs and my OD clutches were history. So what is a guy to do,... just replace them with the same thing he just blew up in a dozen runs? I think not. So my experience tells me it's better to do it right once and then forget it and not have it hanging over my head when I pull heavy or if I just can't stand the pressure of the Powerjoke next to me and I just have to crank up whatever box I have on my truck,.... then it gets expensive quick. Just my $.02.

Can you hear me now???
I guess you're right. It is my own experience I base things on a lot of times. I will tell you this though. I beat the snot out of my truck on level 5 (before the Hot upgrade) for 20k miles before I did the TC and VB, and the internals of the tranny were fine. You still don't need to have a fully built tranny anyway for what the juice can offer, only a VB/TC which is at least $3,000 less than a fully built tranny and the same TC.

The stock crank sensor can be modified, or an aftermarket modified one from RokTek installed... it moves the Hall-effect sensor slightly (< 1/4") in relation to the crankshaft's tone ring to advance the timing a couple of degrees - resulting in marginally better engine power, efficiency and fuel economy.
I recently installed one and it performs as expected.
