im NOT trying to start a fight or make fun of Ford im just wondering why the 7.3 is not making as much power as the Duramax and Cummins. i know it was desighned before the duramax and has a different fuel system then Cummins but it has the biggest displacement and im sure the fuel system could be reworked and plenty of people it seems like get about 50 PSI of boost after a aftermarket turbo upgrade. there are 2 powerful 7.3 out there i can think of . the GREAT WHITE that ATS built and ZANE's Drag truck that he races against MAD DOG and his FUMMINS but im just asking because there are plenty of cheap powerstrokes out there and just wondering how come none of them make the power of Cummins and Duramax race trucks

 

i dont know wat your talking about, mine is plenty fast.

 

just the Hp numbers and tq numbers. there not even close to Cummins and Duramax when they are at race trim. im not talking about when you add a new turbo and exuast. im talkin about like competing at the dragstrip or sledpulling

 

im not sure why, just because a truck has more hp/tq than another doesnt mean that it will be faster than one with less or more hp/tq.

im guessing...

modding out a psd is alot more expensive than a cummins or dmax, if i woulda put all the money i have into my psd into a cummins i would have alot more hp than wat im making now(estmt 390hp)

ive ran a dodge(03+) with a lazy larry which made way more than my stock psd with a ts performance chip and we where a very close race, both truck where lifted, big tires, similair body styles)

7.3 powerstrokes are the under dogs when it comes to performance.

 

The 7.3 is a damn fine motor. It's just a lot more expensive to build. In my opinion its the only one ford had worth building. I think you'll see some big numbers out of Ford guys, but it might take a while. The Cummins and the Duramax are the definite favorites though, you've got that right.

 

thanks for the info i was just wondering

 

Its our injection system... You will never see a true 7.3 in the 1000hp range... Close, but it will not happen IMHO...

 

thats what i thought

 

you dont thank the direct injection will not make the hp or the heui injectors?

 

Exactly, Its so expensive to get big #'s out of them
