Message: [QUOTE="Dieselboy., post: 492789, member: 1232"] LOL Ya it will. Refer to my sig, track times puts it close to 600HP. In my opinion to make 650 you will need bigger then a 200% nozzle. Ive ran 238/100s with a H2E. 250/200s with an s471 and now 400/200s with the S475. I just added a wastegate to my setup. Fixed uppipes and had a transmission warrentied because I fragged the TC. Somedays I wish I stuck with the first setup The last time I added up the reciepts for just the big purchases it was 16,8xx$. That is just into the motor. Trans, gauges, tuning, PCS, wheels, Traction aids and safety provisions, shipping and small things like fittings, tools needed to do the job, oils, gaskets, o rings, fuel to pick up parts and shipping parts are all extra. ITS EXPENSIVE. And my truck spends as much time on the road a year as it sits in the driveway waiting for upgrade/parts to repair. Honestly as fun as 600hp is. With the 75 its a pain to tow with. A hazard in the rain and snow. Anything over 10psi of boost and the assend tries to pass the front. You do end up conforming to the trucks driving habits or you just dont drive it. My advice to you, a gated 366 and 250/80s. It will do everything and more compared to a stock 7.3. And will still put you easily in the low 500HP range. If you still desire more and be a DD that can tow and produce 650hp or more on fuel and you want to use the 7.3 platform. Twins, 400/400s, big oil and a built motor/trans and hours spent on the phone tweaking tunes or learning yourself are in your future. Whatever you choose good luck. I will say though. The joy of seeing a Cummings or Durapad owner butthurt when they get their ass handed to them by a lowly Ferd with a 7.3 make it work every dollar. I wouldnt trade mine for the world. The 7.3 community makes it worth every long night with the hood up and every dollar spent. [/QUOTE]
