7.3 mods?
 
hey guys im lookin into buyin a 7.3 or my first diesel. i have helped work on several and know quite a bit about them. but i am wondering about what y'all suggest for a chip/ tuner. I know the turbos in these trucks are pretty good for stock so dont think ill upgrade that for a while. also if im looking to reconfigure the exhaust what would you all suggest? im thinkin 4" turbo back leading to dual 6" stacks? Any suggestions would be great!:humm:

Gauges first, then intake and exhaust. I run an AFE in mine, exhaust is whatever you want. Its more or less all the same. I had a stack in mine but its very loud in the cab so I had to take it out. I run dual 4in with an areoturbine muffler. For the chip I would go with a TS 6pos with custom tuning from gearhead or tony wildman

Awesome thanks for the custom tune what would you suggest?

If i go with the ATS i know a concern may be the EGTs any idea on what i should run to reduce them?
:humm:

I would never ever run anything from ATS.

An intercooler is something you could do but if all you have is a chip for now you should be fine.

ok and why wouldnt you run ATS? ithey are new to me so whats your oppinion?

joebob3093 01-27-2014 01:13 PM

They mainly focus on dodge and Chevy stuff, not to mention they are a terrible company with some of the worst customer service I have have heard about.

Well the basics are Intake, Exhaust, and a Tune. It is important to have gauges, esp if you will be towing.
I have a Napa 6637 air filter, MBRP 4" exhaust with and areoturbine, and a TS 6-ps chip (although its not tuned by tony wildman). DP tuner is another popular one that people run.
