Thoughts on these mods for 1999 7.3
 

Bully Dog Rapid Flow Cold Air intake system
RBP 5in Turbo Back Exhaust System
Bully Dog 6 position 4 Bank Chip
SRP1- Stage 1 stealth pump
Casserly Modified New injectors Stage II
7.3L ARP Head Studs
BD Turbo Thruster II Turbo
Also getting 6 inch lift and 37 inch tires

Thoughts or better options? Any help is appreciated :rocking:

I would go with a AFE intake but that's just me. There isn't much to an intake so it should be fine.
Rbp is usually really expensive but its your money.

Go with a TS chip with tuning from grearhead. Bully dog isn't custom tuning and won't run the injectors right, especially if you get single shots.

Head studs aren't bad insurance but you probably shouldn't need then.

Lots of people love the stealth pumps.

Personally I would go with hybrids over the stage 2s. They will require a lot less oil and can be tuned to run however you want.

I would either get a 38R or step up to a T4 kit with an S366

What stage would you go with for the AFE intake?

I have the stage 2.

I would do the ford ais intake that uses the Donaldson filter
dp tuner f6
pis injectors
terminator hpop
arp studs
gtp38r turbo
bellowed up pipes
4" turbo back exhaust

that's what I have and I don't crave for anything else!!!

Ford/Donaldson AIS vs. S&B cold air intake (?)
 

Hello All;
I have a 2001 7.3 PSD, ZF 6 speed, 4x4. The only mods on the truck now is a 4" exhaust. I would like to run a chip or programmer and a cold air intake.
I am undecided about the Ford/Donaldson AIS intake or the S&B unit (?) Also, I have a source for a used SCT SF3 3 position programmer. I am not sure of prograammers for an auto trans versus the manual trans I have.
I do not tow, race or hot rod the truck, but do haul a camper for vacations, etc.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.

I prefer the S&B or AFE intakes. Before you run a chip you need gauges, especially since you tow with it. As for more power a TS chip with custom tuning is what you want over the SCT.

Do that riff raff diesel 6637 intake system it's the only way to go on a 7.3 I believe and I would go with DP tuner for sure and a T4 setup with S366 or bigger depending on what kind of injectors you get I would do something like 250/200% from swamps diesel and your gonna want to get an AIRDog fuel system to support that

Unless he is wanting 550hp there is no need to do that. The S366 is to small for 250/200s, and those are not a good tow injector. From the sounds of it he just wants a little extra power for towing. So any custom tuning besides DP will get him that. If he wants a little extra a set of 160cc is all you need for towing safely. Then you have to figure in tranny mods

I guess he should have stated if he was just wanting to tow lol I didn't see that in there just upgrades I did those to my 7.3 and I tow just fine and gobs of power I love it

If you would have read the guys post above it was for towimg. Someone added to a previous thread.

I have the 250/200 and S366 and DP tuner and this truck runs like a raped ape and pulls great just giving my opinion it runs nothing like my 6.4s but it's still a 500hp runner great drivability in my opinion if you want a good runner that's what I would do

If that runs good, just imagine decent tuning and a charger that matches your injectors

Tuning already is good lmao I tried custom tuning with TS not impressed wouldn't ever clear up with DP it smokes a lot off the line but then clears right up just a thin haze I've got a S468 sittin in the shop just don't need it egts. Never get hot truck runs great but hands down DP is the better tuner

But like I said before everyone has opinions if you have something that works for you that's great I'm just stating my opinion gearheads tunes aren't bad but I like DP the best so far I've tried the TS wasn't impressed switched to the DP I like the features as for injectors to turbo size I like my combo so far no issues if I feel like it I'll throw the bigger one on this weekend and let you know how I like it but no issues with this setup

let me know when you see your rods laying on the ground

Lmao oh Yeah? I've put more miles on a power stroke engine than most people put on all there cars in a lifetime my 95 has 1.3 million on it still hasn't thrown a rod haha I've got 7 powerstroke fleet right now all my 7.3s have 300k plus so I must be doing something right lol just a thought

In fact I've never done anything to them besides PMs alternators glow plugs batteries and starters here and there my 95 I've done three water pumps on top of that but I've never even had the heads off of it

And again I will say everyone has an opinion I'm throwing mine out there from my experiences there's no need to get your feel feels hurt over it it's a forum for a reason hahah and I do believe I said s366 or bigger meaning he can choose whatever turbo he feels he needs to do the job
