Did you have the heads ported & polished?

Get a set of steed speed manifolds when available. And p&p heads.

Sounds like a nice build. Have you considered a cam?

I read valve reliefs so I figured a stage 2?

If you are thinking about porting the heads I would look into putting a cam. Those are good compliments and make the turbo spool faster

I considered a cam, which is why i had the pistons cut for stage 2. but had mixed reviews on if they were worth the coin. And i really wanna p&p the heads, but right now i have not.

 

[svt28640]

Whose cam do you guys recommend? looks like gearhead is out of stock.

If I were you, I'd call some builders that offer cams and your tuner of choice and see what they recommend. Opinions vary a great deal with aftermarket cams in a 7.3.

I have a stage one cam from Gearhead along with their tuning.

Depends on the cam and your build.

X2. Swamps tested some cams a few years back on their engine dyno... that made me rethink the old advice to just throw a cam in it.

how do you guys think the streetability with a s475 an 400/400s will be. Obviously no towing an hazy.

Do you live close enough to a tuner to get live tuned?

I'd look into a 467/468 and get the best of both worlds. And you'll need lots and lots and lots and lots of tuner time with 400/400's.

Dont live close to one. But im loading it up an hauling it to the boys at php.

Check him out on FB MJ, look for steed speed, got some info on there. Looks like he is just doing testers right now, hopefully he releases some soon enough though.

Ive seen the steed speed mani's for the 7.3. Gonna be north of a grand for a set...that could mean 1200 or maybe 1800..

Need new uppipes too as the collecter is dufferent yhan stock.

 

[isootmypants]

Yes steed speed is making them, testers are out and jake has a set he is fabricating uppipes for
