Message: [QUOTE="Dirty_Stroke, post: 791150, member: 8228"] Hey guys I'm looking for a play truck and I've ran across a few 7.3's for cheap. I'm a 6.0 guy and I don't really know a lot about 7.3 performance. I have a few questions if you all would be so kind as to help me out. 1. I was told the early 7.3's (pre-2000) are the ones that can hold serious power because they have forged pistons. Is this true? 2. I was also told that 99 and some early 2000's had forged pistons but had a bigger turbo and intercooler like the later trucks? 3. How much power can these early motors hold? 4. How much power can the 01-03 motors hold? Thanks in advance guys. [/QUOTE]
