X2. Clay will discuss the way you use your truck and what you want to do (as well as your budget/timeline) - and make good recommendations. Feel free to come back and check to see if we agree - but Clay knows our 7.3 really well and will steer ya right!

Meanwhile, tell us! What do ya use it for? What do you wanna do? (more pep, drag race, pull a 30k lb trailer up Pikes peak???) How much ya want to spend? More $$ later?

We'll give ya some opinions, but read peoples signatures and you can see alot of common mods...

Welcome to FTE dieselbo. Your at the right place to get the info you need.
Start by looking at Joes Sig that's a good start. But it depends on the power level your talking about. Win the lottery and you can get more.
