So I traded my 04 Dodge Cummins for an 05 Denali and I tow a 26' enclosed race car trailer. The trailer is fully loaded w/ generator, compressor, winch, and a massive amount of tools. The Denali pulls exceptionally well considering it's basically a 1/2 ton truck, and the air ride makes up for all the tongue weight very nicely. Overall I love the truck, but I just need more power to pull the Missouri hills. It constantly kicks down on slight inclines and I get about 8mpg pulling the trailer.
I don't believe that a Cold air kit, exhaust and TB spacers are going to make enough difference at all, and a programmer requires premium fuel. SO, if I'm going to run premium anyway, then I'm going to go the route that is going to give me the ultimate power.
I've had alot of experience with Procharger kits on Mustangs, and have had great luck with their power. Does anyone here have a kit on a 5.3-6.0 truck or SUV? If so what kind of gains did you see?
I've got a good friend that is a Procharger dealer and I'm getting an awesome deal on a D-1SC kit. He says it will provide more low-end than the base P-1SC kit will on 8lbs. The thing is, I want it to still be perfectly reliable. Post up your thoughts and opinions please!

I've also got a friend that is awesome with HPTuners that is going to custom tune it so that it has no hiccups or bugs at all. And I'm going to be running a set of 42lb/hr injectors.

hypertech power programmer III allows you to choose regular or premium fuel and adjusts accordingly.

I'm saving for a t76, the 6.0 loves boost and a turbo kit will net better fuel economy and better towing then a supercharger

Cheaper than any blower setup and you don't need a converter to take advantage of the newfound power, might want to look into some trans mods tho.

No problem, I got your message about the voicemail but never received one from you, not sure what went wrong. This is why I wanted you to email your phone number or you can just send it over here... Just let me know!
