7.3L Performance

Anyone else have any performance mods done to their Powerstroke? My dad has a 2002 Powerstroke Crew cab short box 4x4. I Installed a tripple A pillar pod with 3 Autometer Phantom guages, Boost, EGT, and Trans. We had a Transgo Shift kit installed Thanks to Mike Hallas in Romeo Michigan, and i installed the 140 HP TS performance chip, Settings Stock, 50, 75, 100, 140 Extreme, and High Idle. Also did a Zoodad Mod, and blue tubes Foil Delete. Newest mod was the K&N Cone Filter. Planning on getting the Big Paper filter for it when it warms up and the dust starts flying again.

We use it to pull our boat, it pulls it around like a rag doll. Amazing how you cant feel it back there. When i can afford to i want to get a Single cab long box, with either the 6.0 or 7.3 and turn it into a drag truck. Hopeing after college i can get some kind of a diesel performance shop going. Right now im helping out in a late model hemi performance shop.. Pretty sweet but Black Smoke and High Boost is what i like! Heres some pics. Anyone else? Dont leave me hangin!

Gotta wash that engine compartment out. nasty

I don't know much about 7.3L performance, but I do have some good experience on the 6.0L. If you want to blow one apart, just ask. :) I'm on engine number 2 currently.

Ah, before I blew it apart or now? :) Before, we had 225cc injectors, 64mm turbo and several other mods and were running close to 625-650HP. Now, I'm running stock turbo and injectors and trying to pay off all the mods I had to the first engine. After I get some money together again, I'll start over.

thats one bad ass truck man!
 
thanks, i appreciate it!

i have worked my tail off getting her upgraded and updated. i now just have a lot little things i need to focus on (like the headliner is coming down and some messed up trim on the dash). i feel good about her towing my trailer wherever i need. believe it or not i am very pleased with where she is power wise.... reliable and long lasting yet worlds more powerful than stock! the only other major upgrade i have been dying to do is 4 link front and rear axles and set the truck on full airbags!

thanks again for the compliments
