free mods???

Anyone know of free mods to up the performance on a early 1999 F-250 with a 7.3 Stroke? Bear in mind i want more power but not at the expense of blowing it to pieces. I got a K&N drop in filter and a Magnaflow 4" turbo back exhaust system on the truck now. Any free mods to pick up some more ponies?

From what I read... you may want to reconsider the K&N filter. I've read that on diesels the K&N actually allows quite a few particles to make it into the motor which could lead to possibly trashing the turbo.

You can skeletonize the bottom of the air box. There is a vacuum line you can put a BB in to increase the boost pressure a little.
