Default 1038hp 7.3L Powerstroke

Just wanted to start a thread to say congrats to Blowby for making 1038hp on the dyno with his 7.3 in Fort Collins, Colorado this past weekend.

holy crap... That takes the cake for the most powerful 7.3L I've ever seen...I wonder how long it'll hold. That's insane power!

I wonder how many times it'll pull that off without a catastrophic failure

With that said, Those guys standing all around the truck and dyno send cold chills down my spine....I'm guessing the shop owner didnt realize thats a VERY serious lawsuit waiting to happen! OSHA will actully shut a shop down over that, and the insurance company can pull their insurance!
