I currently own a 2011 f450 with a machanic body weighing 19200 pounds and the truck is so under powered its rediculous.sad thing is 90% of their sales people dont even know this so that they could tell the customer before they sell it to them.any idea what it would cost to replace the turbo,intake and exhaust?

Aeroturbine muffler, scratch-built 4" stainless exhaust. EGR eliminated, ECM recalibrated, modified rack position feedback circuit. Porterfield RS brake pads, Bilstein sport shocks, VDO EGT, oil and boost gauges.
2000 Ford F250 - 150,000 miles. Current/future mods: DP Tuner 3 map chip, scratch-built high flow intake, high output IDM, open circuit fuel system, ball bearing turbo, South Bend full metal clutch, slotted and drilled rotors. Autometer Sport Comp EGT and boost gauges.
Engines have to be de-tuned in heavier trucks in order to get a reasonable life out of them because they spend much more of their time putting out close to their maximum capacity.

I think there are tax incentives to it as well.

Yep. Paid drivers don't "baby" vehicles like pickup owners. Its one thing to pump up power and show off every so often, but commercial trucks are driven WOT most of their lives.
