If your a simply looking for more power and doing so without hurting you engine, look into something from www.bankspower.com There stuff is a bit more pricey than others, but like with anything else, you get what you pay for. There stuff is safe and will not damage your engine like simply adding a high hp chip/programmer will. I price isn't a factor, I would recommend there big hoss bundle. I have installed 3 of them on f-350 trucks and have had nothing but excellent results and actually better fuel milleage than stock.

I would not use a basic chip/programmer by itself. Being you have a 6.0L, if you want to do it right and keep it safe, the banks stuff is the only way to go. They actually do the research and will not sell a product that will cause damage. Any clown can burn high hp chips or make high hp programmers. There is a reason that banks has been along so much longer than any of the other companies making performance diesel products. Do a little research on them, they have done more with diesels and for much longer than any of the many backyard companies offering the big number chips/programmers that are available today.
