Default Just picked up an 07 Duramax

Great truck, but needs more power. Shooting for mid to upper 13's as I believe that's all the stock trans will hold.

Ordered a different exhaust from the DPF back and the Quadzilla Stealth II tuner for now. Don't think it'll break 13's but wanted to at least see what kind of difference the 110 hp tune will make in performance.

Trying to not have to remove the DPF to get to my goal, we'll see.

Thats a beautful truck!! Enjoy it now while its stock cuz you know mods will be coming soon! If you want 13's get a hot tune, good exhaust and a Transgo Jr shift kit to help hold the power. I belive you can do the Free PPE airbox mod as the stock intakes are as good if not better than aftermarket. Dont forget Tierod sleeves to same your rods from bending on 4x4 launches.

thanks, you're right. I ordered EFI Live today and a tune from a good tuner. Now I'll need to sell this Quadzilla when it gets here.
