What is safe?

Well I am slowly getting a little batch of customers, and I never knew i was in bussiness. Anyway, I would like to start doing turbo diesel work, specifically powerstrokes. Now I would like to know some info, that someone on here knows all about. First I want to know whats the most can be done to a stock 7.3, no head studs or anything, just the stock long block. Whats are the yes's and no's? How much nitrous is to much? Whats some DIY style things I can do, and modify as my own and market them locally? Whats some good rules of thumbs? I am looking to learn and do, mostly using my truck as a dumby truck, test stuff out on it, and I would majotly appreciate links, for DIY stuff, or speciallty items. Oh and one thing, can someone tell me how you can delete the stock fuler filter bowl, so you can use a airdog/fass pump/filter system? Thank you guys a million you have no clue how much you guys mean to me, lol wish I could adopt you guys.. well at my age.. wish you guys would adopt me =D thanks guys.

TTC-
I am not sure you will get much advice straight away. Although I know only a little about these trucks, even if I considered myself an "expert" I personally would be leery of giving advice to someone planning to make money working on these PSDs.
What I mean is that advice flows freely for mods on personal vehicles, but I suspect that most folks on the site draw the line on offering what would, technically, amount to professional advice.
I could be all wrong and you will start getting a flood of tips, etc.
You can do tons of research here on your own just by using the search function.
