The Intake on the 3.5 is already a cai. So yeah skip that and exhaust. No gains. Just tune and down pipe. Just do me a favor and at least compare the tunes. I like the livernoise tune. They adjust I think it is 20,000 parameters compared to the others between 5-10k depending on tuner. I have no idea if that's better lol but it's more.
Your dealer suggested a tune? Meaning sales person?
Just be careful, if you have an engine issue its not beyond the dealer to tell you it's not covered because of the tune.

I will compare for sure I have seen great things about both. I know and delt with the GM of the dealership that has a truck like mine and he is the one that suggested it. Says he runs it on his and just to revert before having service. Actually saw one on the wall in the service parts department. I thought it was odd that he suggested it as well.

just FYI, even when you flash it back to stock the truck keeps count... So they still know. Just be aware.

For me, it came down to Livernois and Unleashed. Ultimately, I went with Unleashed because he is local (lucky and random), because he is extremely responsive, has great reviews everywhere I have seen, gets dyno proven results, and he uses the SCT platform. Livernois gets great reviews too, so no knock on them. I like the SCT platform because it is more flexible (many tuners use it) and allows data logging, which gives piece of mind to me. I can data log actual results, send them to Torrie and he can confirm if everything looks good and tweak if necessary. My 2 cents for what it's worth, since I just went through the same thing

I think we've got quite a few members in the Jax/St Aug area... Might need to have a little meet up sometime.
