I have a light duty '98 f250, 4wd, supercab,short bed, auto. Have done the following, jet chip, k&n air system, dual borla exhaust, splitfire type plugs. Although I have been pleased with the results so far, I am looking for a little for a little more help going uphill with my camper on, it is pretty peppy without a load. Any suggestions on mods that will provide improvements over already done mods? Not interested in major engine projects.

 

Sell the Jet chip and get a Superchip. You will get more performance in the 2K to 3K RPM range for your towing needs.

Yes, get rid of the Jet Chip and buy the superchip! Way more power and it works all the time unlike the Jet and Hypertech chip.
All thats left is the Poweraid and Supercharger I believe.

 

Hmmm, that is a possibility. I was also considering the granatelli mass air flow sensor,they claim 15-20hp with that mod. What about a wider throttle boody assesbly? Does the poweraid really work that well and what about any increased noise?

 

First of all DUMP THE SPLIT FIRE PLUGS!!! Every mechanic I've talked to has said the same thing. This was after I had already installed them and watched my mileage go down the drain. Any plug will only put out so much spark. No matter how many prongs they have. Superchip will help. I wouldn't waste my time with the poweraid. Go with a larger throttle body and/or power pulleys.

wschubbe,

Let us know how the 4:56 gears turn out. When ya get them on celebrate by laying the smack down on a Shuvy!

 

Oops, I did say splitfire type, what I really meant was that I have bosch +4's! OK, after much deliberation, I decided to do the following:
1.add a wide throttle body
2.add the power pulleys
3.change the mass airflow sensor.
I am waiting to change from the jet chip to the superchip til I can sell my jetchip. Anyone wanna jetchip for $100?
