7.3 help

I own a '03 7.3L, I can roll coal but, I would like to get more out of it. maybe injectors but I was hoping maybe a lift pump would help out instead of dropping upwards of 600 on new injectors. its also chipped incase you are wondering.

You are in the wrong forum. Would a mod please relocate this?


When you say you want to get more out of it, do you mean more power or more black smoke?


And where did you get a quote for a set of injectors for that motor for only $600?


Please give us some detail on what you mean by chipped. What chip? What program is on the chip? Etc. etc.

There is no way you'll get a set of upgraded injectors for 600

Your best bet would be upgrade your turbo but it sounds like you want more smoke so you'll have to do injectors cost you around 2k

If you want more power have it tuned the right way to get rid of the smoke.

If your goal is to blow smoke, find the closest sharp drop off, and drive straight over it. That said, i don't know of anywhere you can get oversized injectors for that price. Lift pump won't give you anymore power. All it does is supply fuel, not change how much is injected.
