World’s Quickest Power Stroke
A look inside a 9-second, 900hp, 7.3L- Powered ’96 Ford LightningThe venerable 7.3L Power Stroke engine is making a comeback. While it’s been known as a reliable towing engine for years, recent events (namely four-digit power numbers and 10-second quarter-mile times) have brought it back to the head of the performance market. Now, a new barrier has been broken, as Zane Koch’s awesome Power Stroke-powered Ford Lightning has run a 9-second quarter-mile pass. Yep, at a recent race, Zane ran a 9.99 and then backed it up with a 9.91 at 139.4 mph—fast enough to need an NHRA competition license—proving he has the hottest Power Stroke-powered pickup around. So how did he do it? What makes his engine so powerful? And, what’s next for this awesome ride?
