With 6.4 liters of displacement, common-rail injection, twin turbos, and 350 hp from the factory, plenty of potential exists in the 6.4L Power Stroke.

Below are various “recipes” of parts that are needed to reach certain power levels along with any companion parts that you’ll need to ensure the overall drivability and integrity of your truck. For example, you could grab the highest setting on your programmer to make 500HP on a dyno run but for longevity sake, you would be better off with a cold air intake, exhaust, and a lower setting on the tuner.

Bear in mind that even though Ford says your truck is 350HP, they are quoting flywheel horsepower, not rear wheel horsepower. On a dyno, the actual rear wheel horsepower for these trucks is about 310HP. Please don’t get sucked into the trap of adding all of the manufacturer stated horsepower gains for the individual products together to estimate your horsepower. This will only lead to disappointment! There is typically a substantial amount of overlap when combining products, but this is a necessary evil.

This list is split in (2) sections: Combinations, and Recommendations. The manufacturer names are linked to the manufacturers website in the Combinations section, and the products recommended under Recommendations actually link to the products. (If any links appear blue, they’re probably an ad and not a product link…)

About The Author

Founder / Administrator at  | Website

Growing up, my father always believed that every family needed a truck—there’s just something about having a vehicle capable of hauling anything at a moment’s notice. That philosophy stuck with me, and it’s been the foundation of my lifelong passion for Ford trucks.

While I’m best known for my work with Ford Rangers, I’ve owned a wide variety of Ford trucks over the years—including F-150s, F-250s, F-350s, and even larger rigs like the Ford Excursion, Ford Expedition, and a 1982 Ford Econoline Sportsmobile camper van. I’ve used these vehicles for everything from family transportation to towing car trailers and campers, and each one has fueled my love for Ford’s versatility and durability.

I especially enjoy the styling of 1970s and 1980s Ford trucks—the bold designs, rugged presence, and classic charm are timeless. Sharing my passion for Ford trucks, vans, and SUVs with other enthusiasts online brings me a great deal of joy, and it’s why I created Blue Oval Trucks.

This website is dedicated to helping Ford truck enthusiasts explore, learn about, and celebrate these incredible vehicles. While I share my expertise and experiences here, Blue Oval Trucks is an independent enthusiast site and is not affiliated with Ford Motor Company.
