Talking I want more power!

Just got an 04 2500 SLT QC CTD 4x4 shortbed. I am wondering what are the first things I should add to get more power?

You do realize that adding fueling enhancements can possibly void your engine warranty........

I have put on a K & N filter charger system and noticed a difference. It allows the turbo to spool up quicker and get more air. It makes the turbo louder but I don't think that's a bad thing.

I did the Amsoil Air Filter to avoid conflicts and the dealership voiding the warrenty. Has as good air flow if not better than K&N, but not an issue for warnety

Then got to go chip!

I have a Bully Dog chip for sale!

The Turbo Air Guide (TAG) will help to give quicker turbo spool up and a small amount of power. Next you will want gauges to monitor EGTs and boost of what ever else you may do to the truck. Exhaust, chip, intake, etc.

Carnage,
1) Where did you get your Amsoil filter setup?
2) How much did it cost?
3) Was it easy to install?
4) How often do you have to clean it?
I'm on my 3rd stock air filter at 13,500 miles....they seem to get an oil residue on them pretty quick.

www.amsoil.com

ordered it direct and it is a direct replacement for the stock air filter. so it is very easy to install.

It is reusable also. you clean it just like you would clean a K&N

Cost about $40

That's strange because we dyno'd an 03 on a Mustang dyno and both the stock filter, K&N, and NO FILTER all made absolutely no difference at the wheels. The truck made 807 ft-lbs (on the stock clutch!), so what we proved was that the intake on the Echo motors have a lot more capacity for upgrades than that on the previous generation trucks...

SOmetimes the butt dyno lies I guess.
