Hi there hill0700us. I'm a new member myself. I own a 2000 7.3 Powerstroke. Don't mean to scare you but I've been hearing a lot of scary things about the new 6.0's. How long have you had yours and have you had any trouble with it? As for hp and torque, intake and exhaust mods help tremendously. On my Powerstroke, I installed a Mac cold air induction system ( approx. 24hp), an MBRP 4in. turbo-back exhaust system( approx. 18hp). If you really want to unlock some hp. for realitivley little money, get yourself a Predator hand held tuner from Diablosport. They are around $360.00. That's what I use. This thing also serves as a diagnostic scan tool for the Powerstrokes as well. Keep in mind that the intake and especially the exhaust mods should be peformed before turning up the fuel due to exhaust gas tempatures( EGT's).

Welcome to Powerstroke.org hill0700us!
There are a lot of tuners on the market and you'll get a lot of different opinions on which one is best trust me. I've had a lot of luck with my Predator too but like Deeno said you really need to be careful. Gauges are a BIG recommendation and keep in mind - going overboard could cause major problems.
