It's bone stock, runs great, but I been toyin with the idea of maybe puttin a little pep in her step so to speak. I don't wanna do anything crazy, just wanna give it a lil more hp. Any ideas?? Thanks!
no thoughts on moving on to the SD 7.3l era trucks?
sounds like this one has served ya well.
(i like the older ones myself obviously too.)

really as stated just a used turbo kit will add a lot of pep in her step.go with anything you can find for the right condition and price.whatever fits your budget.if a turbo doesn't fit the budget,just run 'er and be happy.at some point in life you'll be onto the next truck.
