And for the MPT tune is it worth goin with the livewire or just go with the new x4? What's the advantages of running the livewire?
IC: Any of those listed will beat stock by quite a bit. There was an excellent comparison done and posted here and I believe the wagner showed very well - but the AFE was not tested as I recall (could be wrong on that.)

CAI: No proven performance gain though some of the parts guys may tell you there is.

Programmer: Livewire is there all the time and will show you real time readouts... if that is your thing, cool. The X4 will log what the Livewire does. In ensuring your tune is both maximized as well as safe, you will want to log more so than look at the Livewire screen. The screen can help in the rare case of a bad batch of gas.

Tune: I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a tune. Any tuner that tells a customer to update their strategy is demonstrating less than mastery of understanding the interrelationships of the tuning tables.

Lightening up your truck and running on smaller tires will produce a greater effect than you might imagine...

I'd suggest you call them and talk about what you want and uses the truck will see and hve them tell you what's best.

No, darn it - I am not the best with Search functionality. The thread I remember had graphs and everything....

Here are a couple of threads I found though:
