Needing some opinions for my future build

Truck: 04 6.0 F250 4x4
Miles: 71000

the truck is 100% stock aside from the 4" mbrp turbo back straight pipe exhaust.

im planning on purchasing the innovative diesel sct programmer soon.

what would you guys do to make my truck faster and more powerful with out losing the reliability?

With a 6.0 you need to focus on reliability before trying to build big power.

But with that being said, a tune itself from Innovative will probably surprise you when you mash the skinny pedal.

yeah lol i know this. im planning on studding it and deleting the egr after i get my tuner. do you think my truck will be okay with out studs for a couple months with the programmer?

Depends. Some guys have ran a race file on stock studs and had no problems. Others pop the heads with no tune. I've been tuned for a year on stock studs and no problems yet. Granted I'm just running Innovatives Agg street tune, so it's not that wild. And I don't drive the piss out of the truck all the time either.
