bro, they are great trucks and as long as the axle ratio isnt over 4.10 you will or should net about 20. the turbos work well but it might need some attention. Make sure it isnt the crappy bent to **** downpipe. get a good 3" in there and it will do very well! Just make sure and check the SCA levels, the 7.3 has an Achilles heel and it is the thin cylinder walls. If properly maintained, nothing but good times!

yep deff agree. altho these trucks dont push the power like the powerstrokes they can hold there own my 7.3 is non turboed and it runs 39inch tires with 4.10 gears and it runs great lots of power to spare. with a turbo and the hypermax airintake and a good flowing exhaust it will be a great rig. turn up the IP one flat and ull b happy there isnt rele any other mods for them aside for headstuds and pushing more boost.
