idi?

Hi I am not by any means new to ftef. I have always and will always run fords. I am strongly looking at competition pulling and dragging. I really like to keep things simple and was wondering if anyone has really built up 7.3 idi and if they are capable of high horse power or am I wipping a dead horse. Please any good feedback would be greatly appreciated.

doubt it. the problem with the idis and all of the powerstrokes before the 6.4L is the lack of ability to flow enough fuel for high hp engines. truthfully find a 2nd gen 12v cummins from a dodge. those p pumps can pump like limitless fuel. it is possible to build up an idi/powerstroke, but it costs a ton

I would do a 6.9 IDI, they have a stronger block.

There is a couple guys with the 7.3 Powerstroke in pulling competition and they are beating the dodge's. Just my .02.

alot of those 7.3L pullers have 5x as much money in their engines as the dodge guys do in their cummins. It's awesome to have a powerstroke puller, but it's damn pricey

Best thing you can do for an IDI is turbo it. You can get a moose pump and moose injectors i believe. Open up the exhaust and make or buy some kind of ram air intake, and youll be in good shape.
