Welcome to DB

Really the only upgrade you can do on the IDI's is a turbo, and put in injectors from a turbo'd 7.3 IDI. Itll add a little power, but its never going to be crazy fast.

I have the Banks setup, but from what I've heard the folks that supplied Ford with turbos for the 93/94 models made a pretty good one. The hilbilly mud runers around here put bigass injectors in.
