My obs idi mods so far, wadda ya think?

[badass76ford]

So i've owned my first idi for about a month now and absolutely love the thing. And so far i've turned the pump up 3 flats, straight piped it (3 1/2 inch allthe way out to the stock location), and accomplished a homemade shackle reversal, and picked up a set of used tires and wheels for 100 bucks And just wanted some feed back from some fellow ford lovers on how yall think im doin.

O and pics of course.
The first is the day i got it and the second is now.

Looks good, you have a pyrometer gauge I hope?? If not, you should get one considering the IP is up 3 flats(I can post pictures of melted pistons to convince you).

Also I would POR-15 your underbody, looks like there is some rust underneath her and to stop the progress of rust you should look into getting some. Expensive, but cheaper than a new truck.
