I'm a registered Dieselmaniac! I've owned all of the big 3 except the Duromax (which I consider offesive) and love'm every 1. From the 6.2 to the 7.3, from the 5.9 to the 4bt and I still keep messing w/the IDI's. I guess it's a flaw in my genes but I'm always on the look-out for a new IDI and ways to make'm talk. I've never been on a dyno w/1 but have seen #'s from the detroits. They range anywhere from 150hp to 228hp. Where are the IH's? How come nobody wants to brag on the 6.9-7.3. By sheer size the 7.3 should stomp the best efforts of a 6.5. So heres your chance, if we get enough maybe we can make it a sticky. Give #'s and proof if you have it?

 

Well i cant exactly prove anything over the computer, but my dad has the 99` 1/2 7.3 liter powerstroke, auto, it has a different turbo (its not aftemarket), 180 hp six setting custom edge program ( 1st setting- stock, 2nd setting- high idle, 3rd setting- tow, 4th setting- performance, 5th setting- race, 6th setting- extreme 180 ponies) the bad thing is he cant run it on the 6th setting because the high pressure oil pump isnt making enough pressure to handle all the fuel being shoved through the system, and a 3 1/2 inch from the turbo to a 4 inch down pipe to a 5 inch tip and its only makin around 345 hp but can go from 0-60 on the 5th setting which is 120 hp in about 7.5 maybe 8 seconds in a 7,000 pound four door diesel pickup.
