Getting an 03 that needs a boost!

I came across a 03 3500 SLT QC CTD 6 speed and should be signing the papers on it sometime today. I will be using it for both daily driving around town and hauling cattle part time. I would like to add some power to it so what do you reccommend? I like the scotty air intakes..but would a BHAF be better? I will be installing the gauges and air intake before adding anything else. As far as boxes and injectors go...what would be best for my application? On the exhaust...do 03s have 4" all the way? If so should I keep the factory or replace it with a nice turbo back system?

03s have a 3.5 inch exhaust.I think you can use the down pipe from a 05 or Banks carrys them.The rest of the exhaust is up to you.Many threads on that subject.

the 03 has e.5" exhaust from turbo to muffler, then from muffler to tail pipe is 4"...
im looking at the edge EZ and the bully dog power pup for options on my truck, those seem to be the most common for our trucks...

Well...It looks as if I will be waiting a while for the goat I went to apply for the loan and it shows that my credit rating has dropped over 200 points. I just got a copy of it and there is a ton of stuff that is not even mine....looks like someone got to me. I will be disputing all of the charges and once my credit is back in check I will be getting my ctd...

The BHAF willl leave more $ in your pocket to cruise the classified section, pretty sure there is an ez in there for an 03, unless some one else snapped it up. just looked, the one that had the egt gauge got snatched up but there are at least 3 that wiill fit your truck
