Default Help Me Tune Up This Ford 6.0

I have never messed with a stroke but maybe its time to do so.

2004 Stroke 6.0 has injector problems now so an injector purchase is necessary.........with that being said this would also be a great time to make a power upgrade...............whats a good injector for this truck when ya run the stock turbo

also what else is needed to make the truck better

Get a good intake, 4" Exhaust and an SCT Tuner.

With the above on my 04 6.0 I made over 440 hp on the Dyno no other upgrades. It was fast for nothing more than a tuner.

165CC injectors is about it with custom SCT tuning and a stock turbo. Any larger and you are going to need a turbo to make the smoke go away.

I'd do studs.... It is not a matter of if, it is more a matter of when.

I would also look into a regulated fuel return system.
