5 Best First Mods for Your 2025 6.7 Powerstroke
The 2025 6.7L Powerstroke is a beast from the factory -- 500 HP and 1,200 lb-ft in High Output trim. But "good enough" isn't in your vocabulary, right? These five mods are what we recommend first. They protect your investment, sharpen the drive, and set you up for bigger upgrades down the road.
1. Cold Air Intake
Opening up the airway lets your turbo breathe easier, improving throttle response and adding a few ponies. We carry two proven options: the Banks Ram-Air Intake (Part# 41869, $469.00) with its massive enclosed housing, and the S&B Cold Air Intake (Part# 75-5140, $379.00) with a sealed box and oiled cotton filter. Either way, add a pre-filter -- these nylon covers catch bugs, bees, and dragonflies before they create low spots that lead to kinking and distortion of the filter element. Pick up the Banks Pre-Filter (Part# 42653, $44.08) or the S&B Filter Wrap (Part# WF-1031, $29.95) to match your intake.
2. Performance Monitor -- Edge Insight CTS3
You can't manage what you can't measure. The Edge Insight CTS3 (Part# 84130-3, $511.95) is a plug-and-play OBDII monitor with a 5-inch touchscreen that tracks EGTs, boost, trans temp, and regen cycles in real time. It reads and clears DTCs too. Essential if you tow -- knowing your temps on a mountain pass prevents catastrophic failures. The CTS3 can also be upgraded to Edge's Evolution tuning platform via software update, so it grows with your build.
3. Tuner/Programmer -- Edge EZX + CTS3 Kit
Ready for serious power? The Edge EZX + Insight CTS3 Kit (Part# 12713-3, $1,033.95) is Edge's current solution for the 2023-2026 6.7L Powerstroke. This inline performance module delivers up to +60 HP and +140 lb-ft across 5 adjustable power levels you control through the Edge app. It includes engine coolant temperature protection and TPMS management, and comes bundled with the CTS3 monitor for full gauge coverage.
