Upgrading a Ford Power Stroke diesel for more performance often overlooks critical supporting components. Ignoring these “odds and ends” can lead to overheating, component failure, and ultimately, downtime. Reliability is just as important as raw power, and Spelab offers solutions – along with Black Friday deals – to keep your Super Duty running strong.
Intercooler Piping: Preventing Boost-Related Failures
Increasing boost pressure is a common modification, but stock intercooler piping may not hold up. Hard pulls can literally blow weaker hoses and connections apart.
Spelab’s 6.7 Power Stroke piping kit addresses this with heavy-duty aluminum construction and reinforced triple-layer silicone couplers. This combination improves vibration resistance and handles higher boost pressures effectively. Installation is simplified by quick-connect CNC flanges that ensure a direct fit, eliminating headaches during setup.

Older Super Duty Intercooler Upgrades (6.0 Power Stroke)
For older Super Duty trucks with the 6.0 Power Stroke, original intercoolers may be nearing the end of their service life after two decades of use. Instead of replacing with another stock unit, consider an upgrade – especially if the truck is modified.
Spelab’s 6.0 Power Stroke intercooler offers a lightweight aluminum design with improvements over the factory part. These include an optimized air diverter, aluminum end tanks, and a thicker core, all working to boost cooling efficiency. Currently, these upgrades are available at prices lower than factory-style intercoolers, making them a cost-effective choice even for stock vehicles.
Intake Manifold Improvements for 6.7 Power Stroke Engines
Maximizing Power Stroke performance isn’t just about cranking up boost; it also requires unrestricted airflow. Spelab offers an intake manifold upgrade for 2011–2019 6.7 Power Strokes that improves the engine’s intake capability without breaking the bank.
This direct-bolt-on replacement features a wider 3.5-inch bore, increasing airflow over the factory unit. Heavy-duty aluminum construction enhances durability and heat control, while a powder-coated finish ensures long-term aesthetics.

Ignoring these critical components can lead to costly repairs and downtime. Investing in reliable upgrades ensures your Super Duty performs at its best for years to come.
