it has a Banks kit on it, big head acuator, transmission controller, 4" exhaust/downpipe and a chip.
the truck also had 32 gallons of diesel, with 3 toolboxes on it, and a rack.
the best run was a 16.789 @ 78.34 mph, it beat a Dodge Ram R/T 2x, a F-150 4.6L, lost to a Honda Civic "vx" turbo.
we are getting a new chip for it from diablo since they make one for 80 and 100hp, and we will run on Kerosene the next time and with less fuel, ill come back and post again when we go again. the horsepower the chip gains for you is at the cost of towing capacity is it not? i think that is what my dyno tuner told me... but i might have mis-understood him...

There's a Hypermax shop near my work and I have seen a few trucks that were modified by them. One was an Excursion Limited that supposedly has about 300 hp and 600-650 lb/ft torque. Hypermax will install bigger injectors, crank up the boost, larger exhaust(the Excursion had a 5-6" piping system  ), power chips, etc... I haven't driven any of their modified trucks, but even stock ones can get moving rather quickly for such heavy trucks. The 6-speed stick 250's and 350's are slower because it takes longer to shift, but the automatics are very impressive.
