Got a new 04.5 lly crew cab 4x4 shortbed. I want more power, but not alot of risk of doing damage ex.( stacking ect...) What should I use as far as exhaust and a chip.Have heard alot about the edge juice with attitude having problems...I am looking at a banks kit right now with intercooler exhaust, chips, and gauges...any thoughts???? Thanks

I have the banks and like it so far except for the slight surge at low speeds the truck has.

I have an Edge juice with Attitude and a Predator. I like the Juice better for all the extra's you get like tranny protection. Also the boost, EGT, tranny Slip guages as well as the engine temp guage. You can shift the levels on the fly (not good on the tranny though especially if it is stock). I have had the opportunity to run the Predator lately without the juice (juice sent back for reflash) and it runs well but I really miss the attitude monitor and the ability to shift levels on the fly. The 85hp tune on the predator seems a bit touchy to me but I like the 60hp tune as well as the 40hp tune stacked with the edge. OH! I've had zero problems with the Edge and the predator.

I'd sugest the simple approach. Your choice of 4" exhaust, and a simpler module at 90 HP max. If you plan to go farther, then add transmission upgrades next. For modules, Edge Juice, Edge EZ, or VA Smart Box but stay out of the High setting on the Juice and VA. For tuners, Diablo Predator, or Quadzilla Stealth would be my suggestion again staying below 100HP settings. Gauges are definitely good idea. Intercooler gains are an unknown at this point. I'd stay on the fence a while longer with that one...

Get ready to get married again.. this thing is going to run you're pockets empty!

I agree with what the other guys said..
