Just got to start with the basics. Cold Air Intake, free flowing mufflers (like Magnaflow, Dynomax, Aeroturbine), Superchips tuner, longtube headers.

Superchips tuner is best bang. It will wake up the 5.9.

Not sure about the 5.9, but I added a TB spacer and an intake on my 4.7 and I can tell a slight difference in the lower RPM range on the butt dyno. Next on my list is an exhaust and a tuner.

Spacer does nothing for modern fuel injected engines and in fact may cause a restriction depending on application or size (unless you drill and tap it for nitrous).

I have jba shorty headers, msd coil and a superchips programmer on my 5.9 and it woke it up alot. I'd suggest a better programmer like an sct though the chips is pretty primative. A Mopar m1 intake manifold is supposed to work wonders also.

Unless you are doing major mods to the 5.9 a custom tune will be no better then a superchips. The 02 cannot utilized tranny tuning, so no need for that.
BTW, a tb spacer will do absolutely nothing on a port injection engine.

Good luck, the M1 is hard to find. Hughes intake comes the closest, but big !

This cannot be farther from the truth. Frp for example has shown gains of 30+wtq under the curve, +19whp peak with gains under the curve being similar to the tq gain. 318s have shown as much as 50wtq in spots, all on stock or mostly stock trucks. Also, though primitive, there is some adjustment in the trans. Raised shift points, more line pressure. Not to mention death flash delete and tq management removal
