[QUOTE="Marty, post: 565742, member: 602"] ****Cracks fingers before typing....***** Pushrods are not a must. Basing a HP rating @ a specific psi is leaving out half of the equasion. I've made 550 HP at 35 psi, I've also made it at 55 psi. The answer to the question you're trying to ask is yes, you should do studs, springs and pushrods all at the same time. Whether you pull the engine to do it, do it in cab, or pull the cab is up to you. With an OBS it's pretty easy to do in cab. You're likely around 450-490 rwhp.... about 50-100 hp shy of the # he is asking about. If you do it right you'd refer to my first response. x2 No need to evap the A/C. Just remove the 11 8mm head screws that hold the box in. Once that is out of the way all of the studs/springs on that side are a breeze. The driver side rear spring and stud are the biggest problem. I jack from the manifold with the engine mount nuts removed. Lifting the cab on a 7.3 truck is easier then 6.0L trucks. Unfortunately not everybody has a lift so in the cab works just fine. If you have any questions or want to talk about turbo/injector combo's to get you to your goals let me know. We have done a bunch that are anywhere from 400-700+ hp builds on stock forged rod bottom ends. [/QUOTE]
