Throw a superchips tuner on it, a pyro with the probe in the manifold and drive it... It will put out about 270-290hp, run better and get better milage... Best thing, there is LITTLE if any chance of blowing anything up.

If you were wanting to build a truck to play with, or one that YOU would be the only driver ever, I might say something different...

Turbo produces all the back pressure you need. Delete the muffler and go... Or a 4" turbo back exhaust...


They can be had for about $300 to your door.

6637 is a big Napa filter that replaces the factory box. Cheap, flows way more then 90% of the filters on the market.

4" will drop right in. 3" down pipe is tough on the OBS trucks, but on the SD there is lots of room for a 4".

^?... ford what????

luke, this isnt a truck that needs a 6pos chip. its a truck i haul cars to and from auction with... but... it would be awesome to have a 7.3 4dr 550 rollback outrunning dmax's...

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

as for the chip, i'm suppose to acquire a flashpaq for the low low price of $75. if it works, ill pay him and thats that, now i just got to talk the boss into letting me str8 pipe it it and get the filter.

He made mention of the bully dog torque dog and the ADR, which are both dodge products. Well, ADR is for sure, never heard of the torque dog.
