When it comes to tuning our trucks we all want different things and have done different things. Some people just want to run huge lifts with big wheels and tires, others use their trucks for serious towing,  racing, or daily driving. Well,you get the picture. Tuning isn’t just something that any of us can do. It isn’t like we can grab a tuner, hook up all of the equipment necessary to see what is happening, and adjust everything for our specific environment. 

The Smarty S67 tuner.

Thankfully, companies like Innovative Diesel Performance (IDP) are here to pitch in with a solution to the problem. It is tuning companies like IDP that are able to write custom programs specific to our needs and  the equipment that is on our trucks.

But, what if we want more power, but don’t know where to start? Well, again, IDP has you covered. They have been tuning trucks since ’02 and pretty much know which combinations work and don’t. So, who better than someone like this, to put together a power package of goodies to take your truck to the next level?

All of these packages are designed for your first big step (tuner, intake and exhaust), but don’t think they stop there. As you want to continue to upgrade, give them a call and let them walk you through what the best options are for your specific needs at each of the next levels. 

As far as the power packages, they offer solutions for the following models:

• ‘03-‘07 5.9L Cummins
• ‘07-‘12 6.7L Cummins (‘13-‘14 packages will be coming out shortly)
• ‘03-‘07 6.0L Power Stroke
• ‘08-‘10 6.4L Power Stroke
• ‘11-current 6.7L Power Stroke

For simplicity sake, let’s take a look at the Cummins 6.7L package, for 2007-12 trucks. For tuning, you can select either the MADS Smarty Junior Programmer SJ67, which comes standard with the package, or the cutting edge MADS Smarty Programmer S-67, which offers benefits like fast download and updating speeds, tool-less installation, and the ability to read diagnostic trouble codes in plain text.

For exhaust, MBRP provides the quality and breatheability you’ve been looking to add to your truck. Whether four-inch or five-inch, stainless or aluminum, 4×4 or 2×4, the selection is there for your viewing pleasure.

Finally, there are the cold air intake kits. Here, you can decide between either an S&B Filters setup, which is standard, or the aFe Power performance upgrade. S&B’s oiled option improves airflow by almost 50 percent, while aFe’s design features a fully-sealed set up that comes with the capable Pro-GUARD washable filter and even auxiliary air inlet ducts that boost the delivery of air volume to your engine.

All told, these Power Packages are a quick and easy one-stop solution to making your next Power Stroke or Cummins project a hassle-free experience–at least when it comes to shopping. Find out more about these deals and by visiting Innovative Diesel Performance on its website and Facebook page.
