Best $300 mod

Woodchuck'sHemi · Aug 1, 2017

It seems as if $300 is the mark for some of the most popular quick mods. Cold air intake, programmers, and I just discovered the pedal commander(which I'm very interested in). So what's everyone's opinion on these mods, and which brand of particular mod. Also opinions on throttle body spacers welcome. If anyone has all 4 (if that's even possible) please post. Thanks!

I bought my Diablo used $225. Custom tune was $175 so a little more but well worth it.

I have the Diablo tuner - In my honest opinion, if you ARE NOT going with a custom tune, it's not worth it. I run a tune by Hemi Fever and I'm happy with it.

Pedal Commander - ABSOFRICKENLUTELY! I have that "Kool Aid smile" plastered to my face every time I step on the gas! Moe's Performance had/has it for $269, very worthwhile and 2 minutes to install.

I haven't done a different Air Intake yet, will probably be Vararam when I do and it will be done with a 87 mm ported Throttle Body from Moe's.

Throttle Body Spacers are snake oil, basically only good for turning into a nitrous port from what I've learned.

If you plan on keeping the truck a while, you might wanna read up on Catch Cans.

Moe's Performance is a site sponsor and a damn good place to do business.

Hope this helps!

Did not see exhaust on your list, If you dont have one it should be on the list..
Craven Progressive exhaust system is a nice one but there are many other good sounding ones as well.

I will be honest (well for me personally) and say if I was only going to spend 300.00 I would keep it in my pocket. The list of mods needed runs into the thousands or tens of thousands. Good luck.

Peddle Commander is one of the best Mods, and no warranty problems :love51:

Also for just a click over $300 you can get a set of BBK shorty headers.

Pedal commander, for sure

Interesting... I have a CC from Moes. Didn't see anything about a HP gain. Here's what Moe's has on the subject, per their website:

The Billet Tech Catch Can slows down and filters oil that may end up in the intake and combustion chambers. Oil in the combustion chamber will lower octane ratings that may cause your automobiles computer to sense knock/KR. This will cause a decrease in performance.

Where can I find the HP gain you talk about?

brandon.colt · Aug 1, 2017

He was messing with you, the catch can does not add any hp. It is a good mod for keeping oil out of your filter and out of the combustion chamber though. Well worth it but you do need to empty it every 2-4k miles depending on how quickly it fills up.

TB space is a waste of money. I'd say that it depends what your goals are between Diablo tune and pedal commander. If you want to actually go faster, Diablo tuner, which can be made even better with a custom tune. If you want to FEEL like you're going faster by dramatically improving the throttle response, then go pedal commander. All three of these mods stack, but I would chose these three (tuner, custom tune, PC) before the intake which also stacks.

If you're spending $300 and that's it... Then I'd.go Pedal Commander. But if you're looking to do them all, I'd go with tuner first as you will incrementally feel like your performance is getting much better.

If all you want is to buy 1 mod for now skip all the other bs, save a little more money & get a programmer w/ custom tune. That will give you the single best gain and start a platform to build off of for the future.

I have vararam and magnaflow muffler.
Feels great.
Pedal commander is on the way and I should have a moes throttle body soon.
You really need all 4 in my opinion. Then headers if you like

Gotexhaust.com doesn't list the pedal commander on their site but they sell them and are cheaper. Shoot them an email or PM
