a little extra power
 

A friend of mine just purchased a 94 and was wanting to get a little more out of it.I don't know any thing about these trucks and wanted to try to help him out.Is there any good mods out there for his truck.

94 is a split year... Is it a powerstroke?

Yes it is a power stroke

94.5 was the first year for the powerstroke, but the first thing I would do is throw a pyro in there.

After that, a well tuned chip will open it up quite a bit.

Other weak points on the OBS trucks are the intake and exhaust. A tymar type intake is a great, cheap upgrade that flows all the air you would ever need.

Next would be at the min a 3" down pipe, if you wanted to do a full exhaust past that you can, but 70% of the gain on a OBS will be getting rid of the factory squashed pipe.

Full Exhaust can be had for about $300, Intake can be made for about $80, and a chip will run you about $350-$400

What kind of chip?SCT?:humm:

I would get a chip from Power Hungry Performance... post up in there area above...

SCT is great for a 6.0, but for the 7.3's you want a 6 pos chip that mounts to the PCM. gives you shift on the fly ability.

As I said above, get atleast an EGT gauge. The OBS with the squashed down pipe will get HOT quick.

Thanks ,very much appreciated.

i think the best chip out there is the Tony Wildman custom tuned. check out totaldesielperformance.com
life time reburns, in case you upgrade, and you can get up to 6 positions, shift on the fly, i loved mine and i tried a few different chips/tuners on my old powerstroke before i got my TW.

Tony is good too!

I prefer to stick with site sponsers as much as possable! :tu:

or get performance exhaust FIRST!!! no need to take the risk...
Just get BOost, Pyro, and tranny gauges...
then intake, exhaust and chip...
