I am pretty sure I have the dreaded AFM problems with my 2011. Mechanic say one of the cylinders has lost compression and it runs ruff at idle. I just rolled over 160k miles. After reading through a bunch of post on here I know I should get something like the kit on amazon to fix the initial problem.

I Haul a 18' enclosed work trailer filled with construction tools a lot so while its in the shop would like to do some upgrading. From what I have read here I should probably keep the stock headers or short tube headers to keep low end torque. So pretty sure want to do:
Intake
exhaust header back or just replace muffler and do the resonator delete
Black Bear tune.
Deleting the AFM would be part of the tune. So I guess my question Is that kit what I should use or is there a different one that should be used with the planned delete. I am not apposed to replacing the cam if it would give me some low end gains for trailer hauling and completely delete the AFM.
I am a carpenter by trade so I need help putting together a complete parts list for the rebuild, My mechanic owes me some favors so I just need to get the parts together and let him at it. I know there are a lot of threads about this problem and about exhaust and cams Just need some help getting all that in one place specific to my 2011 so I can get this truck back to work. Thanks for the help.
