I have a 2000 f-250 7.3 . I haven't done any motor work what so ever ! The only thing I have done is bought a superchip programmer and its just not cutting it anymore ! I need some thoughts on what I can do to gain some hp and better mpg's . I'm thinking maybe exhaust or air intake but don't have any idea on what is a fair cost or what brands to look into .
Any suggestions please and thanks ahead !!

 

Gauges before anything at least egt Trans and boost. This site will be your best friend and worse enemy all at the same time... Riffraff Diesel Performance Parts: Powerstroke Parts | Ford Diesel Parts | Ford - 99-03 Super Duty 7.3L

 

Cheapest and loudest is the 6637 air intake. A stock exhaust with a muffler replace will help with exhaust flow. Check the EBP sensor and tube. Check codes. Also the hutch mod for fuel restrictions.

Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback .

 

I am thinking if doing double stack pipes any ideas of that's a good choice or not and maybe somewhere I can order them?

 

The cheapest way to go is, #1 A 6637 air filter, #2 a 4" turbo back exhaust system, #3 Gauges, EGT/ Trans Temp / Boost. and #4 a good tuner like DP or PHP. These together will make your truck come alive and can be done for around a little over $900 and well worth it if you do the labor your self. You may only gain a mile or two MPG but the performance will be night and day.
And to say cheap, these are not cheap performance parts.
There are other cold air intakes you can buy but the price go's up.

 

Those won't get you any more or less HP and MPG than other types of exhaust systems or mods. There is only one turbo outlet so for two stacks you'll just be splitting your exhaust with a Y-pipe. Most race trucks run one stack. These facts are the genesis of the saying: "two for show, one for go"

 

Is there a website you can recommend for the parts ?

 

I actually just like the way the trucks look with dual stacks and I sure don't race my truck!

I hear ya, if you like how it looks go for it!

 

I checked the gauges packages but what's the difference in the triple and the quad and do I really need all that??i also hear a lot of talk about delete kits and egr stuff and I'm clueless on what is all that ?

 

Those delete kits are for other trucks, no EGR on the 7.3L

 

Triple would be a pilar pod that holds 3 gauges, quad would be four. No egr delete on the 7.3, thats a 6.0 thing.

What kind of HP are you looking for? what kind of budget are you on?

We are more than willing to help you spend money, just gotta know how much you want to get into this. Personally, I would get the truck running 100%, make sure you have no boost/exhaust leaks and then I would look at a custom tuner. I ran a Superchip Cortex for a couple years before I discovered DP. I will say that it was night and day.

Keep asking questions when you need to, Thats what we are here for
