Message: [QUOTE="khumpert, post: 1483825, member: 29182"] New member here, hope I don't butcher it too bad. I went to my old forum and noticed there wasn't much activity in the 7.3 section anymore, so I thought I would try here. I've taken about a 3 year hiatus from working on my 1997 7.3L, but I am wanting to pickup where I left off. The main goal I am after is to give my pickup more power but by not sacrificing RELIABILITY. When I push the pedal, I want to get up and go, not just make a lot of noise and get there slowly. Horsepower numbers are way less important to me than reliability is. I've never had an issue with this pickup and would like to keep it this way. I would like yall's opinion on what steps to take and in what order to keep from blowing my pickup up. 1997 Powerstroke 7.3L 4x4 136,000 miles E40D 3.73 gears [U]Mods:[/U] Rebuilt transmission -BTS valve body -Sun Coast heavy duty rebuild kit. -Tru-cool transmission cooler -ATS deep trans pan -Billet triple disc torque converter (I think BD brand. cant remember for sure) 3" downpipe. [U]What I had in mind and the order in which to do it[/U] 1)Gauges with boost, pyro, and trans 2)Banks intercooler 3)Cold air intake 4)EBPV del 5)Upgrade turbo (cant decide to go new or rebuild stock with wicked wheel, and 1.0 housing) 6)HPOP 7)E-Fuel 8)Stage 1 injectors 9) TS 6 pos chip with TW tunes (may be better tunes out now) What are yall's opinion? Am I putting the cart before the horse on any of this, or would you do things in a different order? Thanks for yalls help. [/QUOTE]
