    I have been running hotshot for awhile now, but lately I have not been getting good MPG and need more torque and horsepower while loaded. I run a 2010 F450 with only 78k miles on it. Everything on the truck is stock. I've been looking into a tuner/program module. What brand and or model would some of you guys running hotshot rigs work the best?

    7.3 diesel or gas?
    What rear end ratio?

    How much are you willing to lose to get some boosts?

    Not quite getting your question. I just need boost and better mpg. Are you talking about hp?

    Well its usually a trade off....

    More torque for less horsepower


    But! ....maybe look into an after market overdrive, taller ratio in the rear... Top end speed will suffer..

    What sort of terrain are you traversing?
