Granatelli Big G

[Rumbles]

I have a 2004 6.0L that is completely stock. I eventually am going to go to a cold air intake and a 4" turbo-back exhaust. Right now I am really interested in getting a Granatelli Big G Mileage Miser tuner. Does anyone have any experience with this setup? Would I be smart to upgrade the intake and exhaust BEFORE I get the Big G? I am especially interested in the 3 MPG increase that is advertised. Any advice and opinions would be appreciated!

What is that? Never heard of it. Do it in this order as far as mods.

Guages
Exhaust
SCT tuner with custom tunes.
Intake from the factory is actually pretty good until you start going bigger.

With the SCT, you can get tunes from many differnt people, and tunes that go from mild to wild. You will be much happier with the SCT I am sure.

And great to have ya here.

if you would of asked this before this weekend i would of been telling you i had no idea what this chip is... but by luck i was at the granatelli dyno day on sat and got to talking to the sales manager .... i will start carrying all their stuff by the end of the week.... from what ive been told and read its a realy good chip.... now i know shawn has the big G on this truck and i took a drive with him with it and it was realy powerfull.... you will def need intake and exhaust to keep those egt's down.. and if you dont get the big g modual youll need guages too

Hey Rumbles.

If you want the Granatelli product, get the big-G and leave it on the economy setting. That way you have room to play if you want. The miser is a one-shot deal, whereas the big-G is adjustable on the fly. The granatelli people are awesome. They really know their products and will help you out in any way they can. I just got their flash tuner and I am really impressed with it. Just my .02.

Thanks for the replies! Gauges...................I'll be honest and tell you that the idea of gauge installation scares the crap out of me! I want to mod my truck safely,wisely and in the right order, so if this is what needs to be done first, then I am all for it. Does anyone have any ballpark ideas on what it might cost me to get a set installed.......either by myself of to have a shop do it for me? Are there any "Bibles" out there on gauge installation?

i sell some set of guages on my site.. and depending on how good you are at wrenching you should be able to do it yourself... if not a shop may charge as much as 200 bucks too do it.... you can check out my guages on my site (link in my sig)
