Want more power

I have a 99 F 350 Dually and I want more power. I already have a Superchip programer, Bully Dog Outlook monitor and 4" Exhaust, AFE Proguard 7 air intake and a Billet Torque Converter. Is there anything else anyone recommends to make good reliable power. I don't want to use Propane because I heard it creates high egt's, I am considering Nitrous though. Just want to know what anyone else thinks. I don't want to spend more than $5000.00. Thanks

With 5000 for them limit you can go far with your forged rods. Set of hybrid injectors and a good turbo, and a custom burn chip, can get you to 4something hp. Is ur truck an early or late 99?

First step would be get a well tuned chip from Tadd at Elite Diesel, or Jody at DP tuner. That will net you a little more power and a much smoother running truck. Then you can start looking at Injectors and dual HPOP's. Stay away from drugs if you can, there never good, save for at the track, and get additive.

... Well your quest for power is a little more expensive, your turbo options are limited without swaping to the newer parts. You have a smaller HPOP and smaller injectors.

There are options out there.
