Default Input Needed

Hi all. First post here so i guess that makes me the newbie. I have a 2002 250 c/c with the powerstroke diesel with about 140 thou on it,so its not even broke in yet. first off im getting ready to put a 6-1/2 inch procomp lift with the 37 x 18 terra grapplers on and i was wondering if any of you guys had a pic or 2 of something similar so i can kinda get an idea of what the finished product is going to look like. Secondly im also going to get the superchips flashpack tuner installed and was wondering if you guys could give me some insight to it. Are you happy/not happy with the added or lessened performance or the added or lessoned fuel mileage. How much h/p gain or loss was there? torque loss or gain. Thanks in advance for the info............Tom

.. To Be Honest With You, He Rarely Drives It - It's A Gas Hog, And Isn't Fun To Drive. Lack of Maintance On His Part Is Also To Blame. But It Seems Like We Are Replacing His Brakes Every 3 Months - Even Wear, Just A Lot of Truck To Stop With The OEM Setup.

.. He Found Out The Pressure In His 4wd Lost Vacuum and Left Him With 2wd While Muddin..

Well i plinked down 7300 bucks today and the guy ordered all the stuff im gonna need and then monday ill drop it off there for a few days so he can git-er-done. Made a few changes tho. Went with the 8" fabtech lift and 38" Toyos around moto metal 0951's in chrome (was gonna go with the black ones). I'll see how everything looks and then i'll decide if i should go with the black fender flares and the Lund sun visor. I'm also thinking of getting the spray in bed liner to match the color of the truck. I'll have to remember to take a before pic and then some after pics when its done. I'm still looking for some comments on the superchips flashpaq if any of you guys have your tuned with one so please feel free to give advise on the tuner thing. Thanks.

Default chip

personally I'd go with a flip chip from Tony Wildman. I've had one and can attest to the performance over any other power adder for the 7.3. You wont be dissapointed.
