Might call Ford and tell them your VIN, see if they can print up a info sheet for you with all the info on it.

Okay, thanks man. I sent riffraff a message about the parts so hopefully he can get back with me soon. I'll try to talk to ford about the vin and see if they can help me out. I don't have to know, but it would just be nice. Once I get the CPS in and get a flatbed on it I am gonna let my neighbor use the truck to pull with. He has a 95 f250 he tows with got a 351 and an auto terrible gas mileage towing (7 or 8). I would hope he could get 12 or 13 towing with the 7.3. 8,000 should be nothing for the 7.3. Plus diesel is cheaper than gas right now :jump:

Stock 7.3 PS, with standered trans come's in at 275 H.P.

That would be at the crank and I don't think the early 99's were rated that high...

I don't think dad's 01 is rated that high and it's a stick. Is Ford like Dodge in the fact they detune their chassis cabs?

Only the 2003 6 speed were rated at 275/525. But as James said that was at the flywheel.

The most you will put out with stock injectors and stock turbo on a E99 is about 280-300...

how about the HPOP? I heard it doesn't flow enough to handle chips and bigger injectors.

You're truck will have a 15* pump. It depends on what injectors you are talking about as to what it can handle... My 15* holds my injectors and chip just fine although I've never actually had it on a scanner to watch pressures...

I am very lucky in the fact that my dad has all the VCM equipment to go over the truck with. I honestly don't know what good performance injectors are. I know that remans are the only ones in my price range and a hi-po HPOP is far out of my price range. :sadnow:

If you're just looking for a solid 300hp, just chip it... Save your money and put it in a savings account or something. You will have plenty of time down the road to mod out vehicles...
