6.0 Chevy upgrades - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Need some opinions on a good air intake for a 6.0 Chevy. K&N, AirRaid, lots of others...but which is better, or all they all about the same?

Someone was also telling me about a website a few months ago that had a lot of upgrades for a 6.0, mainly low resistance plug wires and a few things like that. Supposedly, you can get some pretty good power increases with just a few minor mods. Anyone know what company he was talking about (not able to track him down so I can't ask).

Procharger makes an intercooled supercharger setup for them. Not cheap, but a big power increase. A buddy of mine has one on a 1500 HD w/the 6.0, dyno'd at 498 RWHP, and is still daily driver friendly (except the gas milage, obviously).

im basically an idiot but if youre driving style didnt change would your mileage with a supercharger? i think i understand you have to run higher octane fuel...

also i know its to much for me but how much is the kit?

I think he has to run higher octane, not sure on the mileage question or the price.
