The only problem is 6.9s get hot fast. So get a pyrometer from autozone for 30 bucks so you don't overheat it. 6.9s are notorious for burning valves and cracking heads when the exhaust temp is too high. Also another mod is to crack all the injector lines loose and advance the timing of the pump about 9*. Turn it an 8th inch to the passenger side. But gauges are a good idea

9 degrees. Or 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch.
