Might not be a terrible idea to let DI do all of it if you can. DI is diesel innovations. David has been supporting the 7.3 since the beginning and does head porting, has a cam grind, and sells headers.

All the real headers are made by a third party company and resold by DI, swamps, etc.

Swamps also does some good ported heads and I think they might have a cam grind coming before long.

Iirc you were only wanting around 500hp? JMO if that's what your looking for, keep the heads and cam stock and just run 238/100s with the S468. That setup is good for over 500hp.

 

I'm shooting for at least 500, if I could hit 600 I could run with my buddys 12 valves lol

 

What do you think I'm at power wise with my current setup?

 

Any idea what size your DIY stage 2s are?
Like what cc's they are supposed to be able to push and what size nozzles?

Bring it down to RRE this week and put it on the dyno! LOL

 

I would have to look it up, but they are from Rosewood. And I would drive down there in a heartbeat, but I'll be in Afghanistan till january lol THEN the mods will start, hopefully I can make it down there next summer though!

 

They are 160/80 injectors

 

With stage 2s and a stock turbo you should be around 340-385hp depending on your hpop and fuel system.

So the goal is to make at least 500hp, if not more. In that case I might jump up to 250/200s. 238/100s should be enough to do 500-550hp. With 250/200s you should get a little closer to 600. That's up to you. Both are good injectors. The 200% nozzle might need a bit more tuning to get the smoke levels down, but they can be tamed for street driving.

 

Those big nozzles make me think it would require something more than the T500... dual HPOPs necessary at that point?


Edit: for the 250/200s that is

 

I don't think that the T500 would keep up, but I haven't tried it. The 200% nozzle would require more oil since the injector will be emptying faster, therefore it needs to fill with oil faster.. IMO I would run dual pumps.

OP, I feel it's necessary to tell you that when you get around that 600hp mark, the connecting rods become a weak link. Live tuning can help to keep it together, but it's kind of a game of chance at that point. Some trucks live for years and years at that level and some let go after just a few months. Pulling some timing and limiting the low end torque can help it live, but just know your going to be playing with fire if you jump up around that 600hp mark.

 

In that case I'll keep it around the 550 mark with the 238/100s. Would I need duel pumps for those too? or just a single T500?

 

T-1000 lol

 

I haven't talked to Joey much about the T500 and I haven't run one on that size injector, but I would bet it will keep up. Call joey and ask him to be sure.

 

Its hard to make calls back to the states, very few phones and 8 hours ahead lol but you better believe I'm making notes of everything lol I'm on my second page already. 5 months and 3 weeks to do some research!

 

Are you gonna do springs and rods too?

 

Yes def springs and rods with the S468 turbo
