I would look into an edge/attitude combo or you can start with just an intake and exhaust to lower the exhaust temps and give your truck a better sound.

I have a Predator on mine and it's pretty fast for a 7200 lb truck. I've beat some GT's and a ton of ricers with it. But any of the tuners will make it faster. You need to check out dieselplace.com. anything you ever wanted to know about Duramaxes is on that site.

Edge Juice / Attitude or the Predator are great options, very easy to add power. Exhaust is a must to let the truck breathe and reduce EGT. Pulleys are a CWOFT for a Duramax, you get any real gains there.

Keep the power level between 60 and 90 on the stock trans.
