Message: [QUOTE="Z_racing14, post: 1424012, member: 26445"] Ty, all I'm saying is that with everyone I've talked to whose made the change all of the issues (mainly with egt's and towing) have been cleared up. Not by a nozzle swap, not by tuning, not by leaky turbo systems. I went the 38r route because I wanted a 500hp+ truck that was fun to drive and still be used as a truck to tow and from all the guys doing the 38r at the time it looked to be the way to go. Bigstroker was one of the guys who notably had one of these setups I remember. My truck was a blast to drive and backed up the numbers I was shooting for on the dyno but when I started towing real heavy with it I started to see the short comings. I'm just trying to spread the word for the guys that are in the same shoes that the grass is in fact greener over here. Not saying that you can't be happy with a 38r setup, I did it for 7 years. There is no doubt that a sxe is better, stronger, faster spooling, and waaaay quieter than the 38r ever was. And again I tried tuning from multiple vendor's. Heck when I called Bob and told him my wicked wheel didn't tow worth a damn he told me I was the only one in the country who was seeing that - today it's fairly common knowledge that wheel doesn't spool as well as the stock 38r. Again I'm blown away by the night and day change the turbo made I'm trying to spread that first hand experience to others that might be inclined to give up on the 7.3 platform to a better towing hotroding truck. It can be done with this new sxe platform! I feel like it's breathed new life into this dinosaur and I have no desires to get a different truck now. [/QUOTE]
