Default More mods????

I have a 96' f350 with 100 k miles. I have a 3" down pipe with 4 " exhaust and an AFE cold air with a tw chip. This is my daily driver as well as haul hay and cattle. What is next or how could I get a little more response or power?
Thanks for any help

Next step would be injectors... Stock injectors are very limiting..

What about intercooler? Hpop? IDM mod?
Any recommendations? And can anybody explain the different injectors? I want to be able to play safely yet have a beast.
Thanks

Without more fuel to burn, none of those will increase the trucks power...

For injectors, you currently have AA's or AO's with are roughly 90cc single shot injectors... A pretty generic stage 1 160cc single shot injector could get you up into the low 300hp range with a custom tuned chip...

That is when you will want to start looking into an intercooler to keep EGT's under control when towing and that sort of thing...

Don't forget tranny or clutch mods - power don't mean chit if you can't get it to the ground.

I bought mine through Full Force Diesel... However Rosewood is also a good option and a sponsor of the site that we love to come to... I talked to both of them before making my choice but in the end, one warranty was 6 months longer and about 100 dollars cheaper... Like said above, depending on the current condition of your transmission, hpop, fuel system, those will need to be looked into before buying injectors... I have ran my 1's on my factory rebuilt automatic trans for about a year....

Also, I didn't see gauges on your list... Those are very important to have while modding your truck...

I have a 5 spd with a 6 month old clutch but not sure what clutch would be appropriate. Gauges are next for sure before any more power. But what is good to do for the hpop and fuel system and anything else? And are the stock turbos fine or restrictive?

Depends on what injectors you decide... With 1's you can run the stock turbo just fine. Hpop will be fine so long as its currently in good condition.

Are reman injectors fine? Or do screw up fast? And what's the difference between stage 1 an stage 2 injectors that both push 160cc?
