6.0L Power Stroke Power Recipes - Budget-Build

  |   6 0l Power Stroke Power Recipes ford F350 This segment of our Power Stroke power recipes consists of ways to safely upgrade the 6.0L mill. Like our 7.3L power recipes offered in last month's issue, we've compiled some bang-for-the-buck-type power recipes to help your 6.0L make horsepower gains-without sacrificing longevity or reliability. Also coinciding with last month's suggestions, our power-adders don't include the cost of labor you might have to pay should you prefer a shop perform the modifications (with the exception of head studs). Stay tuned for 6.4L Power Stroke power recipes next month, followed by Cummins and Duramax suggestions in future issues.
