Replace it?  I was thinking more like "it was lost in a tragic boating accident".

There is a good chance the Six Gun caused your head gasket issue in the first place.  If you really want your truck to run, talk with Sleeper .... he knows his stuff on the PowerStoke.

Little more info on your truck would be helpful.  If it's a 6.0 then lose the banks stuff and get a custom tuned SCT.

sct, 155mm injectors, and a itp fuel system should put you at 450
