Upgrade Ideas for '07 6.0

Hey guys, new to the forum and i'm looking for some upgrades for my truck. its a 2007 F250 CC LB and currently has an AFE stage 2 air intake, C2 gauges (trans, pyro and boost) and a Banks 6 gun

I've got some tax refund money coming back and i would like to put it to some good use. Here is what i was thinking i would spend the money on;

Ditch the 6 gun in favor for the SCT X3 (which i should of bought in the first place), 5" MBRP turn down turbo back exhaust, CFM + air intake elbow and the Air Dog 2 fuel system

In anyone's opinion is there something else i should be spending the money on? Will this combination of parts work well together? Do i need the Air Dog and or the CFM + with these modifications or is there something that is more maintenance oriented that i should focus on before these parts are required?

Any input you guys have is much appreciated, Thanks.

get a monitor on that list so you can see other things than your 3 gauges, ECT, EOT, FICMv, ICP, ECT.....

The livewire TS does your tuning and monitoring in one unit and is pretty sweet. You can get tunes from any SCT tuner as well. I would have gone this route but it was not out in 2011 when I bought my truck and got all my goodies.

Good luck!

thanks, that's a good idea for a packaged unit as far as monitoring and tuning go. is the Air Dog and the CFM + systems good compliments to this set up or are they unnecessary at this point?

Or an edge insight CTS along with your SCT to load tunes. Dont mess w CFM not worth it. And at the moment I doubt you wanna mess with an airdog either. Better off getting something like coolant filter and coolant flush done.

I would pass on the CFM - if I was going to do it, although I think they are a tad overpriced I would do the no limit fabrication setup.

I wouldnt run an ADII setup - too many failures for my liking unless you run it like PGreenSVT is doing and using that at low psi to feed a fuelab pump. I would look to fuelab or A1000 for your fueling needs, which I dont think you have any right now.

Start with the monitor/tuner and go from there.

Monitor being the #1 most important mod on these trucks.
