Need more power today!!

Hello all,
I am brand new and this is my first post, so to the topic. Sunday my mechanic buddy and I are gonna replace all 8 fuel injector cups and o rings, due to some fuel in my coolent. My question is after I fix it i wanna mod it. I have a 2000 F-250, 4" lift, 4" exhaust with muffler delete and i wanna in expensive yet quality chip. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Travis

Run, Run Very Fast, Don't Look Back. Your About To Enter The Twilight Zone, From Which There Is No Return.

Welcome to the boards, Glad to have you aboard. Most of use started out with similar questions and wound up where we are or where we are headed. For once, my wife is keeping me out of the poor house and keeping my spending in check.
Gauges should be your first item. That way you can monitor your progress as you add the mods. Gauges are sorta a window into your engine, without them, you have no idea what is going on until something pops. You can do the 6637 or Kwik intake mod and not spend much $$. The rest will come soon..
