air filter wont give you any power, for a filter Id do the 6637 filter from napa, its cheap and flows real well. If you want real power then youll want intake, exhaust, custom tuned chip and then you can go up from there -

well i have the K&n intake im running straight pipe with a hypermax chip turbo upgrade by ats i want to go up with injectors but dont know what to get. and do you know why theydont make body lifts for diesels and how much for a good injector upgrade -

Ditch the K&N, they are bad for turbo diesel engines, they can dust em.

Also I would ditch that hypermax chip and get some custom tuning, that hypermax is not doin much at all for you right now

The ATS housing just helps with spool up

They dont make body lifts cuase the arent a good idea to do on diesels

For a good injector upgrade check out this site DIY-Injectors.com he has done injectors for me twice for a great price and service -

thanks man how do you like your stage two injectors and swamp tuner or if you recomend something eles -

PSD0389 · #6 05-18-2009, 05:47 PM

no problem

I love my stage 2 injectors.

I had stage 1s and then I had an issue and pulled them out again and sent them in and got 100% nozzles put on to make them 2s and just going from the stage 1s to 2s made a HUGE difference. And I am very happy with my swamps tunes, I had wildman tunes before and honestly I am much happier with these.

With 2s though you will want at least a 17* HPOP

Now Im just looking forward to getting my BTS trans in my truck in the next couple of months and the mounting kit for the modded H2E sitting in my room so I can finally break 400 at the wheels -

where can you get the swamps tuner and whats this 17* HPOP mean

o and my friend told me to ask you how to turn more fuel to the motor he has a 97 f350 i havent messed with my 96 but i adjusted the fuel plate on my dodge is it similar to that if so where do you make this adjustment on the motor and if it can be done shouldnt it be the same as my 96 and i thank you again for being really helpfull and you should film your truck at the track 400hp is insane man what have you ran at the track with that beast -

You will need a TS, Tony Wildman or DP Tuner Chip to turn the fuel up on your Powerstroke's. HPOP stands for High Pressure Oil Pump. -

17*(degree) is the gear that turns the HPOP and with the OBS its a 15* gear.

You can get swamps tunes from Swamp's Diesel Performance and HPOP is high pressure oil pump like said above. Also there is no way to turn up fuel on a powerstroke like you can on a 12 valve

Yeah it will hopefully hit the 400 mark soon, I have the fuel just need to get the turbo in, Ive never ran it at the track, I will once I get my BTS trans in the next month or two -

does swamps make a plug in or is it the chip that is a real chip? -

PSD0389 · #12 06-27-2009, 01:58 PM

its a flip chip that goes into your pcm -

Its not the gear size but the swash plate size... 94.5 to early 99 came with a 15* pump, 99.5 to end of run came with a 17* pump.

Its not a night and day differance but it helps. -
