early 99 F250 mod questions
i got an early 99 F250 4x4 crew cab swb 7.3 with 161k miles. Ive got magnaflow 4" turbo back exhaust and a k&n drop in filter... im thinkin about gettin a programmer or a custom chip for it, im definately lookin for more power and a lot more of that sweet black smoke. im lookin at the AFE stage 2 cold air intake and so far the best lookin tuner ive heard of is DP Tuner's F5 and F6 chips. im considering the F5 with the stock, fuel economy, and the 140hp extreme tune. My buddy loaned me his superchips flashpaq for a couple of days and the performance tune , though it made my truck haul ass, made my injectors rattle like hell when i floored it.
Three questions: first does anyone have any better suggestions for a chip/programmer than DP Tuner? Ive heard good things about their products and customer service, and their price is reasonable.
Second, ive heard that installing the "AC" single shot injectors from the bigger international motors make a nice performance and black smoke increase. Would i save money buying those injectors instead of the big name aftermartket inj. and would they make a viable increase in performance. I know i need to reprogram the computer for them but would i have to run a bigger fuel pump to feed them also?
Last one... Would the bigger international motor's turbo ( 466 or i530 ) work on my motor without problems. again thinking of cost effectiveness here. wondering if i could find a turbo and the injectors from a international bus or other medium duty truck together and save money versus the aftermark big name injectors and turbo and achieve similar performance
