South Illinois

Hi guys, Its been a while since I have been on here. I have a 96 F-350 7.3. I live in South Illinois does anyone know of a good/ reputable shop-business or maybe just a guy who really knows how to work on and what is available for these diesels close to here? [ I am not sure why anyone would try to run a business in Illinois!] I have changed exhaust and did the air filter mod. Now I want it run better.
Thanks RB

There is nothing really wrong with it. I just want more *** [as we call it]. I don't want to get into changing injectors and spending tons of money on it, maybe just a tuner or chip that will help it run better and to pull a heavy load better.

About the best you can do is 60 hp with a chip. From there you have to change the injectors to get more ***.

Good tuning, 6637 intake and full exhaust should keep you happy for awhile
