2500HeavyDuty's Sig:

Whats your HP goal? How much do you want to spend?

Your 2002 has PMR's, so you need to keep it under 370-400 to keep the bottom end intact.

38R turbo, about $1500

H2e turbo, about $2300

Stage 2 injectors, about $1500

Hybrid injectors, about $2000...

Fuel system, no more HP but its a good mod, about $500-$800

First off, loose the edge and get a good tuned chip.

i want around 430-440 RWHP maybe a little lower it just depends, I want more take off speed spool up and just rocket out without jackin the trans up.

With your truck, you are looking at some cash to do anything above 400hp safely. Sure you can spray your way to 500 a time or two, but in 2001 Ford changed to Powdered Metal Rods, they are weaker then the forged rods that came before them.

PMR's seem to be "safe" to about 370-400hp give or take.

I think you would be quite happy with a set of hybrids, 38r and a valve body for the tranny. Tune it for 370-400hp and you should be good to go if you drive it sane. If you drive like an idiot, then I would just leave it where you are, otherwise you will be breaking crap left and right.

Wow, didn;t know you could only do 400hp on later model 7.3's rods. Learn something new everyday!

What is it with wanting smoke? How about tuning for power?

His truck is huge he dont care for the huge horse gains..he just wants the smoke show

Sure, you can get a set of factory Forged for about $600, then install them for another $400-$600...

What is it with the "stacking"? Stacking does NOTHING on a 7.3, we are not a 24v dodge, or a CR. You dont gain a fricking thing by stacking. Chip, injectors, turbos... Not chip, programer, 10k, Nitrous...


I dont get it... I mod for the power, not the smoke. Sure I love to smoke them every now and then, but its not the point of modding the truck.

Its not that big... I am running 37's on a 4" lift, my wife is running 37's on a 6" lift...

Im 37's (could go 40's ) I have a ten inch lift. my truck is massive....you have too see it in person...I have already gone through a tranny doing mods

I've gone thru 6 trannys, 3 motors (on this truck) one rear end, 2 drive shafts, broke all 8 lug studs off the drivers rear, water pumps, oil pumps, turbos...

Thats nice.... Good Job
