firemanglfd 03-22-2004, 02:17 PM I recently bought a 2001 f-250 XLT 4x4 supercab with a 7.3L with 37000 miles. I have experince with the 7.3 in the ambulances i have driven on the job. But this is the first one i have owned myself. If anyone can give me tips or advise on any mods i can do to it. or any problems any one has had. thanks mountainngc 03-23-2004, 12:55 PM Take alook at some of the other articles and at www.thedieselstop.com (http://www.thedieselstop.com). It is all according to how much you have to spend. I put all of the below listed items on myself and I have gained about 130-150hp. I'm intrested in a Fuel Air Seperation System(FASS) and on the propane systems. The new edge juice chip system looks really good. You get the most bang for your buck with the chips. The engine could run hot so you need the gauges. As far as the intake and exhaust more air in and more air out equals horsepower. firemanglfd 03-23-2004, 01:07 PM It would be nice if they made the edge system that they have for the 6.0L in a version for the 7.3L firemanglfd 03-23-2004, 01:10 PM the on the fly changes and the in cab monitor that the edge gives you is verry nice you dont have to buy a pyro, trans temp, or boost guages mountainngc 03-23-2004, 02:45 PM The gauge and chip combo that the edge product gives you was why I suggested it, but I didn't know if they made them for a 7.3..... If they don't make one soon the chip and gauges only take a couple of hours to install. firemanglfd 03-23-2004, 03:04 PM yea but the average cost of the gauges i found where 140 for the pyro, and 60 for trans temp and the same for the boost plus another 60-80 for the pod if you know where i can get quality gauges cheaper please let me know mountainngc 03-24-2004, 10:43 AM take a look on the for sale site on thedieselstop.com wideopen 03-26-2004, 01:07 PM take a look on the for sale site on thedieselstop.com for the 7.3L I would go witht the TS Performance stuff over Edge..TS knows the programing and will make the 7.3 sing DSTRBD 03-26-2004, 08:32 PM Fireman- We carry TS Performance chips and a few different brands of gauges. Let me know if we can help. firemanglfd 03-26-2004, 09:02 PM Hey DSTRBD good site and prices i might send my busness your way when i get some money together thanks for the info. how is the diablo programer. I'm looking for a programer,exhaust,gauges,and maybe turbo upgrade, any recamendations would be greatly apreciated DSTRBD 03-27-2004, 02:06 PM firemanglfd- Check out this page http://www.allturbopower.com/newsletter/tuner_review.html Exhaust: Far and away the best system that I have come across is DPP. The fit and finish is excellent and comes in Aluminized, T409 SS, and T304 SS. Gauges: It all depends upon what look you are going for. If you are looking for something close to stock, check out the Autometer Z-series. Otherwise, there are plenty of other styles to chose from. Turbo: All depends on how much power you plan on running. The easiest turbo upgrade is the ATS ported shroud compressor housing. It is a direct bolt on and replaces your stock compressor housing. Another way to upgrade your turbo is with the Wicked Wheel. This wheel will increase your low end, improve throttle response, and lower your egt's. The last option is the BB turbo. This is recommended for higher HP applications. This turbo offers almost instant spool up and a 100-200 deg. drop in egt's. I hope this info helps, if you have any questions give me a call. | ||
