New Guy Here looking for some help.

Ok, let me start by saying I have done searches on this issue, but I cannot make my mind up, so I wanted to post one specific.

I have a 2004 F350 SRW 6.0 that I have had for approx. 10k miles. It just turned 80k miles on it. It is a crew cab long bed, and I have done a 4 inch lift with 35 inch terra grapplers. It rides very well for a lifted truck, but it has NO power. When I go to pull out onto the highway in the morning, it is a scary event. Push the gas, does nothing for a good delay. Then when the turbo gets going it runs smooth, but it is just very slow.

I have owned turbo cars, and I understand turbo lag, but this seems extreme on my truck.

Also, it tows horribly. It is slow as sin with weight behing it.

I want to do a coolant filter. I'd like to order one this week. I also read a little about an oil bypass? Any info on this. I am thinking about doing an exhaust because I want the truck to sound better.

What I'm not looking for is a race car, but I do need something more. I am thinking about going to SCT, but I have feared the head gasket and EGR issues so I have held back.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

-Ben
