Simple upgrades
 

Hey i just got a 97 f250 and im looking to do some simple upgrades to get more power. i have the intake and gettin the exhaust. any other suggestion and eplain how to do it would help alot:U:. i have been around a few of these but never upgraded them just replaced stock part. need some help from the pros.

youll want some guages of course, as for cheap mods, if your good with soldering you can mod the IDM, also you could do a resistor mod but I honestly would skip that and go straight to custom tuning

Yeah, put a chip in it after the gauges.

ok im doing the normal upgrades of course. so now what type of chip. what is the best all around chip to use with the powerstroke.

I thought you were puttin a cummins in it?

then im going to put my powerstroke in my dodge.

Will youexplain this alittle better please. i dont understand what you are talkin about

The injector driver module can have a different resistor soldered in that changes the injector voltage from 110 volts a.c. to 140 volts a.c. It makes the injectors open faster and more responsive. There's mod you can do that puts a resistor in the cam sensor wiring that changes your timing. I myself prefer to leave it to the experts. IDMs are expensive. I hear Tony Wildman chips are the way to go. I'm pleased with my Bully Dog. All you have to do is pull out the computer and insert the chip and put the computer back in. There's also some instructions on here somewhere that tellsyou how to make your own propane fumigation.

Thank you very much for the info. im just lookin to get some smoke out of her not 700hp. it will be a haulin truck. so any upgrades to make it better that way

I have a hypertech on my lbz & i pull tractors & hay ever day I'm not at the station.It pulls great & you can pull in stage 3.Its not a big tuner but I like it & a few buddies w/ 7.3&6.0s like it.:c:

You wont get much smoke out of the stock 90cc injectors on these trucks, if you want good power skip generic tunes with TS, bully dog, hypertech, etc and go for custom tunes from either www.totaldieselperformance.com, Swampsdieselperformance.com - powerstroke turbocharger Resources and Information. This website is for sale!, and there are a couple more out there as well. With just a chip youll see around 260 at the wheels, thats where the stock injectors will max out at
