I like the wicked wheel. It boost up a little faster and it is a whole lot louder so people know I am coming. It is also suppose to prevent some wheel cavitation at higher RPM under load. From my understanding it is the factor ford whell up to 99. All aftermarket wheels for the stock turbo are the same just marketed under different names. All made by Borg Warner.

I have heard good and bad things about the Bio Diesel. I hear it has better lubrication values and is better for your pumps but the drawback is that it is more of a solvent and can wear on rubber parts in the fuel system. You will probably also want to change your fuel filter after a tank or two of the stuff because it will clean gunk out of your tank and system. It also gells at higher temperatures than regular diesel so you have to be careful or use stabalizers in cold weather. There are a bunch of other guys on this forum that probably know a lot more about it than I do.

Unfortunatley my fuel millage suffered slightly with BD but considering it is 85% less poluting that was not a big deal to me.
