Default Finding some horses....

Got a '94 F-350 dually. Crew cab long bed 2wd. 7.3 turbo with a 5 speed manuel. I am looking to had some horses and some torque. Any ideas without breakin the bank? Still learning a lot of the diesel stuff. But any ideas will help.

Start with gauges, intake ant exhaust then add a custom tuned TS 6pos chip. Then it depends on how many hp you want.

on the back of the PCM there is a spot where it plugs in. the 6" stack doesn't mean anything. is it hooked up to stock exhaust? or what?

No. 3in down, to 3in straight to the 6 inch stack. where is the best place to get the chip? And what kinda exhaust would you recommend?

Exhaust is exhaust. If you are happy with your stack, run it. They all do the exact same thing...

For the chip, PHP, Tony Wildman, Swamps, Beans, Gearhead... All good tuners.. Just call each of them and pick one.

When you add horsepower and torque you make exhaust gas temps rise and can cook your motor if not carefull.
