not too worried about the intake really. i might get one. exhaust is numero one, then gauges, then a tuner and then prolly a 6.0l intercooler. the tranny has been rebuilt and shifts HARD and locks up perty dang firm. alot harder than my buddy's stock tranny. i need to pull the inspection plate and see if it has a billet converter or a stocker.

and i got to get this 4x4 to work.....

ahhh, you already have some trans work - lucky you!!!!

the intakes are easy to do... just do the Tymar type.. I even know where to get one with an AFE filter that is as big as the donaldson and other paper filters... is a nice setup... but on the 7.3's - a HUGE restriction is the intake.. your EGT's won't like you.

but sounds like you are on the right track! the trans being beefed up is a good thing!
