riddick what do u have done to your 6.0? and what kind of mileage are u getting now? do u have any banks products on it?

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

are banks products worth the money or are they overpriced for the performance they give? how do u like the superchips my bad i didnt see where u had all that stuff on your truck

no problem man...the superchips ok as an easy to hide tuner when your under warranty (i didnt want to get the sct bc if i get stc im gettin the livewire) but trying to spin 35s i can pull around 17 in city (im not in downtown so im normaly doin 45 with very few stops) and 20 on long drives at 70...

i dont have anything banks...for me they where to expensive but i know there is some stuff that they have like their intercooler that i will get...

personally i dont think that you have to buy a banks kit...IMO its easier to put your truck together in bits and pieces. the list you see in my sig is stuff that ive been doing since summer of 06. the best way to look at a truck is as a work in progress cause i wont only break the bank ull cause another financial meltdown if you try to do it all at once.

on a totaly different not go to ur local shops and see who does what to diesels and try to get friendly...ive gotten friendly with a couple guys and they help me out A LOT with prices and all.

As far as power goes if you get the 6.0 SCT. If you go with the 7.3 then look at the TS 6pos Chip.

lets say i got the egr delete and got the head bolt problem fixed what would be a better choice in the long run cause i know the 7.3 run for what seems like forever but idk about the 6.0 im gonna be keeping the truck for quite sometime

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

would the weight of an f250 vs an f350 make that big of difference if i wanted to race it? kinda a dumb question and im sure ill have alot of them what kind of intake and exhaust and programmer would ya'll recommend for both trucks just to get started?
