This is a cold start at about 30-35 degrees. truck has factory turbo and 230,000 miles on original engine. might need a few glowplugs as its been a couple years since i replaced them.

johnboggs21 has it right. It has had the downpipe replaced, fuel cranked, and wastegate disconnected. It is safe to say that i am making much more power than a stock first gen powerstroke.

@2strokedetroit no i totally missed that in your one comment sorry lol. yea i know how them 7.3 and 6.0 injectors work, HUEI system (hydraulic unit electronic injection).

[2strokedetroit]

@6030diesel You know I am talkin powerstroke right? The injectors use oil to actuate them, the stealth HPOP will flow 100% more oil to feed the new injectors. Powerstrokes don't have injection pumps.

[6030diesel]

@2strokedetroit no, bigger injectors wont do squat till you get a bigger injection pump.

[2strokedetroit]

@6030diesel you mean HPOP? I've been looking at stealth HPOP's and Stage 2 injectors that flow 160cc's but the injectors alone for a set of 8 are 1100 bucks, reman.

[6030diesel]

@2strokedetroit gonna need a larger injection pump with .33 plungers at least to fuel that much power.

[2strokedetroit]

@6030diesel wow, that is impressive. I might end up with a 7.3 powerstroke for 1500 bucks (truck and all) and I'd like to squeeze 300hp out of her

[6030diesel]

@2strokedetroit there were a few 6.9 IDIs ( same as a 7.3 just hasnt been bored out yet) around 1000 horsepower back in the 90's. there was a bunch done to em though. one 7.3 IDI i saw with a bigger turbo, bigger pump, bigger sticks (injectors) run around 350 horsepower on the rear wheels, cant remember the torque though.

@6030diesel From my expierience when people crank these up with turbos they can't handle the additonal power.

[6030diesel]

@2strokedetroit yea, thats why i said ATS PERFORMANCE turbo. ford paid ATS to supply them with a shitty turbo like i said, to keep the 7.3 IDI behind the 460 gas sucker, other wise the 460 wouldnt sell. they didnt give 2 shits about the powerstroke 7.3 as that had quite a bit more power than the 7.3 IDI turbo did.

@6030diesel didnt ford use ATS turbos??
