CALI--MOST popular upgraded parts

[JMalmy21..00/7.3]

Located right outside of Sacramento (Folsom) and slowly making mods to my
'00 F250 CC 4x4 AUTO (6" lift, 35" tires, 6637DIY, 4"SS Turbo back..just got myself some EV2 gauges and about to order my Beans 6pos custom tuned after i get my PCM code lol )

I am wondering what are more or less the MOST popular parts yall are running when it comes to..--Hybrid Injectors--Turbos--Or any other mods that might be looked at twice over when going in to get your rig smogged.

Goals: I want a moderatly powerful truck. A decent amount of hp while still maintaning good mpg. The heaviest ill be towing for now, and in the near future is most likely topping out at 10k. But a majority of what ill be pulling will be boats, dbl trailer sea doos, some quads, my 636, camping equipment. All pretty decently light when it comes to the relm of towing.

Hoping that is a sufficent amount of information to get some decently detailed responses. Ill be appreciating every and all responses.

Thanks!!

P.S.... Diesel shops IN and AROUND the Sacto area?? I already know of Pacific Diesel, Orangevale Diesel, Imler Diesel, but id like some insight on other shops that yall use for sweet upgrades.

I run 250/200 injectors and a sledgehammer turbo and have no problem passing smog if I leave my chip in level 1 (25hp HEAVY tow). single shot injectors is the way to go IMO but everyone has something different that works for them.

You shouldn't have any problems passing smog even with big hybrids as long as you leave a stock setting on your chip. By the way I live in Carmichael and used to go to FLC and am in Folsom all the time. If you need any help working on the truck let me know haha.

By the way Imler diesel is the best by far. I went to high school with his kids and he is one hell of a guy and really knows his stuff and will do anything to help you out.

I second that, Ken is a great guy and has always been extremely helpful. Not to say any other shops aren't good, but I have only dealt with Imler so far.

My mom, dad, and our family friend all go to Ken. They have nothing but great things to say as well..the family friend has been taking his work trucks there for something like the last 15 years. Only thing is right after i got my truck(end of may of this year) i called him/his shop 3/4 times to pick his brain about parts(just like this thread) and his employees werent that nice and they always kept telling me things and never followed thru. First experience, bad

With the exception of Henry, none of his employees like to "diagnose" over the phone or in person. It's easier to just ask for Ken or Henry.
