It's been a while, but yeah 30-40 sounds about right.

Well then id rather just purchase a kit meant for the 7.3 than do what he did. I thought perhaps the 7.3 compression kits were a hundred or something.

Im baaaaaaaack!!!

Ah whata well deserved relaxing weekend. Not looking forward to work tomorrow.

By the way, have I ever said I hate my IDI lol. Pulling the 5er home today, had my foot right before it kicked down and couldn't go over 55. If it did kick down, I would actually lose speed. Anyone need an IDI cheap lol

If you buy the $30-$40 kit, it will be from Harbor Freight, and it still won't work on a 7.3 without making an adapter.
