Low on power. 0-60 17sec.
0-80 37sec. There I said it. Got to be the slowest truck on the forum!

That's about what I run. I don't think these trucks are supposed to be quick when they're stock.

According to Banks, a stock OBS Powerstroke will run a 0-60 in 15.79 seconds. So he's not too terrifyingly slower than he should be.

Link to Banks site with data graph: Banks Power | 94-97 Ford - 7.3L Power Stroke>>PowerPack® System

Edit: He's like one second off. I wouldn't sweat bullets over it or anything, but then again, I don't know nearly as much about these trucks as guys like Jim do.

Well, he has a Super Duty and is just looking for some hlep from us smarter OBS fellers.


So his truck, by nature in stock form, is noticable quicker and more powerful than a stock OBS.

I know, but that's about what my truck runs, so I'm sticking to it.

I just read a guy saying that stock SD Powerstrokes will run a 0-60 in 11 seconds.

Ford PowerStroke Performance Upgrade Turbo For 7.3L Excursion & F-Series 1999.5 - 200 - Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum

So yeah, I agree now that you've got a little bit of a power problem.

100% normal. Next time don't be a wuss and go to 4000psi.

The second video bleeds a little early, but that could just be a couple poppets not sealing as well(or spring issues), as you found out with the two injectors you spotted.

As Jim stated, this shouldn't be your problem. Something else is up. Looks like your rails are fairly normal.
