What next?

I have a 96 F-350 srw single cab 4x4 with 81,000 miles. I have the 3 to 3.5 down pipe, tymar intake, evolution tuner, and the stock exhaust that is straight piped. Have the guages too. What should i do next? I was thinking maybe a 4 inch exhaust but i cant find one that is 4 inch all the way from the down pipe, they are all from the cat back. I was also thinking about putting on the 5.6K mod. Does anybody have detailed instructions for installing it? I dont want to screw anything up. What else is there that I should do to the truck next? Sorry about the long post but i figured you guys should know better than anybody else. Thanks, Derek

I tried the 10k mod with my Evolution tuner & immediately got codes & "check engine". My mod is a potentiometer w/ switch so I can vary the effect.

4" exhaust would be my choice (Magnaflow makes one that from the DP back), leave the 3-3.5" DP in, anything bigger is a real PITA to fit. If your looking for big HP try the propane injection with a custom chip (the propane will also work well without a chip). Then you may want to intercool later. I tried the 5.6 (read up on the 10k mod at http://pages.prodigy.net/stevebaz/_import/pages.prodigy.net/stevebaz/index3.html, the 5.6k is the same with a different resistor), but prefer my chip (although the 5.6 or 10k is a lot cheaper not as much horsy though). I get lots of hp with my setup, looking for an intercooler and new tranny now... Good luck!
