Ok it is all stock. I need some good suggestions on chips/programmers and air filters/intakes. I do not need the wildest but it needs to work I can not mod this truck out. But I need more power at times

I'm in the process of waking my f250 up.

This is what I have learned.  It may help you.

The Down-Pipe is a major restrictor(robs power, and keeps EGT's higher):  I put a 3" Downpipe on the truck.  It helped.  Not a fun job, but worth it.

I also put a tymar intake on it;  that helped.  (It looks cool too).

I am in the process of putting a 4" cat-back exhaust.  already changed the muffler.  that helped.

Put a sonnox shift kit in trans. (E4OD)  That helped.
(sonnox valve, and tricumulator springs).

Gauges are next, and then I am looking at a chip.  (TW or DP).  


1997 F250 7.3L

Tymar intake, 3" dp, sonnox valve and tricumulator springs.

Short list: 4" cat-back, gauges, chip.
