Banks and Bullydog are pretty big for selling crap. This is for his mom anyways, I don't think she cares about huge HP numbers, just better fuel economy.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

Dollars are dollars, if he's spending the same amount or less he might as well get what's good from the get go.

I actually don't(!) want to increase power hardly at all. That transmission is notorious for not holding up to anything marginally beyond stock power. There is no cost benefit if I/we have to drop >$1k into a trans as well. It doesn't get driven that much overall. Stock power is fine for the work it does on occasion.

Getting rid of the DPF seems to be a universal 2-5mpg improvement. Especially if in triple digit mileage, because there is a good chance it will be clogged.

But Im with Guy, if you get a tune, flash the ECM. Do not get one of those add on boxes, they just dump fuel to make more power and wont help your mpg
