Look to the right side of the forum and click on Finish Line Performance.I think T Byrne(also a site sponsor) also sells them and Dynatech builds them.

 

The other idea is to save a bit more cash and buy a blower or Turbo and get some real bang for buck. LOL

Ask Whitt about his Radix.

 

how well do those FLP's fit?

besides making good HP do they fit with no clearance problems and such?
that would be a criteria for me, I would give up a few HP for a real good fit.

I'm sorta on the fence about changing out my exhaust every two years to pass smog, I need to think that one over a bit before I make a descision.

thanks guys keep'em coming

 

Also, a supercharger isn't out of the question, I'm just not sure if thats the route I'd like to take.

For instance HP and TQ wise what can I expect from an intake,PCM,exhaust,headers on my 6.0? maybe include a cam too for comparison sake.

then compared to a radix setup(which would include the exhaust and PCM as well)

now whats the verdict?

Another big factor is I need this to be nearly as reliable as stock.

 

Dunno why you don't want to discuss your budget as that helps people give advice to you...but that's your thing. If it's $500-800 there's a lot you can do and a lot you can't.

Catbacks aren't worth a whole lot nor are air intakes. I'd skip those for now if you are on a severe budget for just a PCM tune. That'll make a bigger difference than the catback and air intake ever could on your application N/A.

Once you're tuned, then I'd do some headers. Big gains all over. I believe Doug Thorley now has a set for the 6.0 trucks with the factory true duals into the single muffler. I believe they can be had for about $450.

Now perhaps the air intake and catback.

After that, you're right on with a stall converter and shift kit. You'll launch harder and shift better. A nice mild cam would really help you out in the mid range and keep your low end power also. Around a 214/220 .520/.540 114LSA would be docile and keep the stock powerband and then some.

 

Go with the Radix their kit is complete,you are probably close enough to have them install and tune your system on their dyno and the system is CARB certified.

 

my total budget is 12K

but that has to include rims/tires and some other visuals.

realistic powertrain budget 6-8K for reliable power.

I guess it does make sense to have a budget range to work with....

thanks, I see the light.

 

hitmanX, actually I'm waiting to hear back from thorley on a confirmation of fitment for the 6.0.

 

TOGs are the only CARB legal LT (mid-length) headers here in CA.

I've very happy with mine. They look and fit like they are going to last forever. I had a small clearance problem on the driver's side with the steering shaft. I had to remove the nut-locking device and just go with a basic bolt. But i didnt throw a code. Remeber to get them coated!

I agree with whitt1 - go with a radix.
