It comes from the factory pretty wound up. Same thing with the 6.4. That + a few minor mods and you got a screamin demon. The 7.3 isn't running near the top end of its capabilities when you get it. That's why you can do mods to so many things like injectors, HPOP, fuel, voltage, pressure, turbo, airflow, etc without any real engine work like springs, rods, etc.

Those 6.4's are beasts once the emmissions stuff is gone. My buddy has a '08 and it wasn't all that quick when he got it and only got 13mpg.
He got a SCT programmer, DPF delete and full 4" exhaust, and a intake and that thing screams now! Black smoke galore and probably over 500hp

They both have a HEUI system but they are very different systems with similiar main components but still many differences.
Oh and BTW I will take less power over not having to do deal with problems the 6.0 has any day! Just ask my last customer after I handed him the $3700 bill for his headgaskets!

i own a roofing and contracting company have a mix of both 7.3 and 6.0 and at first 6.0 seam great strong and fast but you can do everything the same with the 7.3 without the common problems of 6.0 what good is a truck at the mechanic shop not making me money
my 7.3 with over 200,000 nothing but standard maitance and all tow heavy weight everyday with idiot drivers/workers and i dont have to worry
7.3 all the way i wish my 6.0s headachs would just go away
