Gents,
I have a 03, F250 4x4 Super Duty extended cab with 8' bed, with 3.73 gearing. 150,000 on the clock. I have owned the truck since 05, I have always thought it should have more power, it just feels sluggish. It is all bone stock, I have done nothing except routine maintenance. Now I may start playing with trying to improve the power. What would be the best things to try on this?

no personal experience, but my friend was telling me his v10 dealyo had a horrible intake snorkel that he thinks was choking it up. I remember looking under my moms excursion and seeing the y pipe was a hideous little piece.

If yours has the crappy shaped y-pipe you might try installing one from these guys:

New timing chains and guides and a better pair of camshafts. They can really use some help in the compression ratio departmentas well.

As mentioned before, have a look at the exhaust y pipe and see if it has the restricted one on it or not.. I can't remember what years had them for certain.

Vortec or other supercharger kit. Ford mods are good with a power adder
