Depends on what you want to spend and what your goal is...

You have a 2002, so that means PMR's which puts you at the 400hp limit...

400hp I would do NEW AC code injectors with 100% nozzles, a mild fuel system, 38R or H2e turbo and a tranny to hold up to the HP.

Could throw a water injection system on there to keep things cool...

AC's with 100% nozzles- $1600
Fuel system- $500
Turbo- $1600-$2200
Tranny- $4200
Water injection- $500

Would a TS 6pos chip be too much for it?

A TS chip will get you right about 300hp to the rear wheels. So no.

Even if I run the 140HP pos?

Yup... Even if you run a 240hp setting... Stock injectors, stock turbo, stock HPO system are not capable of more then 300-310hp to the rear wheels...

Throw a stock 7.3l on the dyno, an auto will put down a tire burning 215-225hp...

Manual will do a bit better at 220-230...

Woohoo!!!

Intake, Exhaust, Gauges, Chip will put you right there... 300hp, maybe 320 on a real loose dyno.

Thanks, is there an exhaust that would be best for it? Im a 6.0 mechanic and I really dont know much about the 7.3

CSIPSD 05-23-2011 02:58 PM

4" turbo back... They all flow the same, some sound a little differant, but otherwise there all the same.

I would at least have an EGT gauge. It's like running with scissors, Sure, lots of kids do it and make it out, but why play that game?

haha ok thanks, and I just bought a TS chip and im dying to use it, but I have a stock exhaust will cause too much back pressure?

CSIPSD 05-24-2011 10:05 AM

Back pressure is not the worry as much as EGT's...

So I can run a stock exhaust?

CSIPSD 05-24-2011 10:49 AM

Stock SD exhaust is not that bad, a good 4" turbo back will help, but your not dealing with the smashed down pipe like the OBS trucks have.

Remove the muffler and cat (if you have one) and that is 80% of the restriction.
