A Tymar intake and downpipe for starters. I would suggest gauges before you do any type of power upgrades.

Add to that the 10K mod and shim the FPR as well.

My 97 is much happier with the DP and and intake mod. The exhaust back probably wasn't needed with out a chip on my truck but I did it DP all the way back and it sounds a lot better and EGTs are a bit better but I havn't towed anything.
Get the gauges as well.
The 10K mods are cheap and work but if you have a few hundred extra bucks for a 3+ position chip go for it.
intake 15 mins
DP..... depends how happy you get with the sawsall and prybar.
Difference...all worth it.

Yes, what is the RPF? Fuel pressure regulator?
Also what size DP is stock? i have 3 1/2" on my 96 f350, i don't know if i'm running stock or if it's beed upgraded. also i heard that after a certian width, the DP doesn't help any. anyone know what that idea size is?
