Default 500 hp

alrighty guys, starting to rebuild my 7.3, how much power can i throw out with still being able to tow, on a single turbo, so far what i have in line is...

chrom-moly pushrods
hi-rev springs
forged rods
adrenaline HPOP
Precision billet drop in
238/100 injectors
water/meth
headstuds or fire ring (can't decide between the two)

feel free to add something or change it, i'm open to ideas, i want a hot tow truck basically is what i'm going for, a good reliable work horse that'll straight **** n' git when asked

Pushrods if you want too...

Springs of some kind... Comp 910's are drop in and cheap

Rods...

Hpop is not nessasary but a good option

250/100 hybrids

Water if you want

Studs...

Studs and fire rings go together, but I would just throw studs at it. Fire rings have way to many issues.

I would be looking at a Modded H2e or a WOP GQQSB...

only reason for push rods is becuase they are already are out so might as well upgrade, and how well will i be able to tow after all this? will my EGT's be manageable?

Diezel Dawgs truck runs hard!!! His sig would be a good path to follow. And my buddy Ashton has a kinda close setup as well with a Swamps 66/74/14 S300 turbo, 238/100 beans injectors, custom tunes, adrenaline HPOP, regulated return ect. We havent dynoed it yet but its peppy as hell

that 66 size turbo will help alot and its good for 550-575 and they are like $1250 bucks and you will need like a murff racing t4 pedastal which are like 500 or so and a little fab work for the ic pipes but it wasnt to terrible bad. And definitely studs

With those injectors an H2E might be kinda small for 500 horse. But a 66 size turbo will tow nice, spool fast, and keep the truck running cooler as well IMO

250/100 is what I would do... I really like my 250/200, but you really have to have the tuning nailed down to keep the smoke down at low RPM.

Turbo, I cant help but recommend the Modded H2e. It is tough as nails, spools great, tows great and runs cool.

I have no issues towing my 35 foot trailer from Bend to Phoenix non stop in my hot setting...

Ever run a modded H2e??? I really dont think there is a better turbo out there other then the GQQSB from WOP... At least in the 500-600 range.
