I have a 1997 F350 7.3. Mods so far: DIY 6637 intake, 3" downpipe and 4" all the way back, FPR shim, Bully dog chip with tonys tunes, autometer gauges, 4.10 gears, built auto trans.

I want to boost up my performance and have been looking at a lot of parts and reading a bunch of posts on here. I know alot of you guys have used these parts and I would just like some opinions. Im looking to upgrade the injectors and HPOP now and the turbo in a couple months. What would be a good setup? im open to other parts but these seemed to be the best iv read about.

For a HPOP I was looking at:
-Stealth SRP1.1
or
-Terminator T500

Injectors:
-Rosewood premium stage 1.5

Turbo:
-Rebuilt stock turbo with a 1.0 quick spool housing
or
-D66

Thanks in advance!

 

Do the T500, stage1.5, Intercooler, and look at the s366 turbo and uppipes from Irate Diesel. You can do the irate setup for the same price as the d66

 

What he said.

 

I'm glad I joined FTE! I'm gonna need help with all this stuff when I build the engine for my cc.

 

Thanks!! that does look like a good deal for the turbo. and my up pipes are leaking. Will that turbo work with a e99 spider?

 

No you'll have to build one.
You could upgrade to the super duty 3" plenums and get a late 99 spyder and cut the hot side off it the all you have to build is the connection to the turbo. That what I'll be doing

 

Ok, So the S366 shares the turbo flange that the superdutys have? could I just mod a later super duty spider?

 

No it uses a T4 mount. It the same style flange you have now but it positioned different way so that the s366 will fit

 

Same here. The guys on here help you spend your money on mods the RIGHT WAY.

 

I think im going to go with the T500, Rosewood stage1.5, Intercooler, and the s366 turbo and uppipes from Irate Diesel. What kind of power do you think ill be pushing?

 

Tuned perfect 375ish

 

Im sure you have all these things in the works, but don't forget the supporting mods to make sure it can handle those ponys.

Valve Springs Riffraff Diesel: Comp Cams 910-16 Valve Spring Set

Push rods Swamps Bil7.3PR 4130 Chromoly Push Rods Fits 95-03 7.3L Ford PowerStroke

Head studs Riffraff Diesel: ARP 7.3L Headstud Kit

Someone else will follow up with any little things i forgot

 

He can probably safely run that setup without springs, push rods, and studs. Not saying it wouldn't be a good addition but just not mandated.

 

When would you say studs springs and valves are 'mandated'

We have the forged rods and some people said they can handle 500hp?

I dont know all of the different internals so I could be mixed up. Im just curious what needs up'd when you get to those numbers. Or what numbers you need to up em at to be on the safe side.
And on the not safe side what can you push the stock internals too before upgrading?
