Chipping a 6 speed manual 7.3?

[Lococoin]

Hi,

I was wondering if you could tell me what sort of power the stock clutch on a 2000 ford f250 with 7.3 can handle? I want to order a chip for both towing and for some fun unloaded. I will upgrade the clutch if necessary but wanted to find out what you thought it might handle if it is in good shape.

Also, im assuming my engine has forged rods since its a 2000. So that would mean it would handle the 140 HP tune? Or it it worth just getting the next lower HP tune? I do not want to lose the reliability of my engine. This would be something id play with once the clutch has been upgraded.

Do your HP ratings represent rear wheel power gains or crank HP? What sort of torque numbers can I expect out of your:

40 HP tow
65 HP tow
85 HP tow
100 HP performance
140 HP extreme

Thanks
