Few Noob Questions on 7.3

Well im looking to buy in the near future a 1999-2003 F250 F350 4x4, which ever I can find for a ok price. I want to get the 10 inch lift from superlift and 38"x15.50" Superswamper SSR's. I would also be looking at stacks, and the superchips programer, seems to be highly liked here, and it looks easy enough for me to use. And on the gauge cluster that was listed here, the moderater listed was a triple gauge cluster. What all would i need in the cluster besides the exhaust temp, to monitor the superchips tuner? Which setting would i be able to run with these big tires? Looking at 5" and 6" stacks.

For gauges, you would want a pyro, tranny temp (auto tranny) and boost. As long as you have a good exhaust and better intake, you can run whatever setting you want, just keep an eye on your pyro to make sure its not getting too hot.

Pretty much what he said.

Not to make your search harder, but the 99, 2000's and a few early 2001's had forged rods, which are a lil better then the late 2001's and later, which were powdered metal. If you are REALLY gunna pound it with horsepower I would stick with the Forged rods, but thats just me. I like Horsepower
