Default 1997 F350 7.3L Stroker

Hey guys, I got a 1997 F350 7.3L Stroker and I was wondering what some easy mods to do to it would be, I got plenty of tools to do mechanical mods and not much money to buy ****, so ya... just see'in the community's opinion.

First things I would do are an intake, you can do a DIY with a 6637 filter. then get rid of the stock downpipe with a 3" and either buy and exhaust or straightpipe your stock one

Not sure on my time yet, I havent got to the track yet, Once I get my dana 60 in Im gonna try to get some times, right now thanks to my POS TTB front end I can even use 4x4 and I dont think it would be worth going to the track if I cant launch it in 4x4

I love my tunes from beans, much happier with them, they know what they are doing especially with their new breakthroughs in tuning, they are confident Ill put down about 420hp, and the truck moves pretty well, surprised the hell out my buddy when I raced his cummins and beat him and his truck has 150hp injectors, fass 150, 62/71/13 turbo, edge comp, built trans, intake, exhaust
