Hey Guys new to this site, and I wanted to get some insight on some upgrades looking for a chip, programmer, and a air intake.. I already have the exhaust.

For a chip i would go with the diablosport powerpuck. (previously only available on cummins)
stack it with a diablosport programmer (i have this and it works great!!) features include datalogging and dtc reading and clearing. not sure how the puck works due to my 03 not being able to support it, but have heard good things about it. for an intake i would go with the AFE stg. 2 works good on my 03 and on my father-inlaws 06. -------------------- the powerstrokekid 2003 F-350 6.0L 8" BDS lift ,afe intake diablo sport predator handheld straight thru exhaust, 18" eagle type 114 rims/37" toyo M/T's $100.00 1975 11' truck camper. (don't laugh, its paid for!!)

wow, you must have weak gaskets!?? i know they are definatly fords 6.0L weakspot, but a guy SHOULD (theoretically) be able to run more than 60HP without blowing them. I have dragraced mine with a bully dog cranked way up and im still goin strong at 190,000kms stock gaskets.
