Wicked Wheel Gen 2

I am new to all these mods available for the 7.3, and am still finding out about mods. Right now I have an exhaust, about to get an intake. I heard that the wicked wheel 2 is a good way to go to get a little more performance out of it without getting crazy. I do have some future ideas to get some stg 2 or 3 injectors because I don't think I will ever stop building. I'll keep figuring out about new things and just keep buying. Anyways, the wicked wheel......what are y'all's thoughts on it? Ive heard it lowers the egts and gives you more low end boost? I never really drive past 2500rpm, so I don't need any high end. Let me know, pros and cons!

If you're going to do injectors then don't buy the WWII. Keep that money and put it toward a real turbo since you're going to have to upgrade it anyway

What would be a recommended turbo and what stage injectors would I have to run with that specific turbo? What are some other upgrades I could do now that would be transferable to a new turbo and injectors??

Stage 2 and 3 injectors take a lot of supporting mods to run. Get your check book out cause your going to need it. Supporting mods include

Turbo s366 or 468
Intake
Exhaust
Studs
Springs
Pushrods
Hpop
Intercooler
E-fuel
Clutch of manual trans
Trans if auto.

Woah....didn't realize that it required that much to run stage 2. Does Stage 1 require the same mods and what kind of power would they support??

You could pass on a few things but all in all this is a pretty standard mod list. But with stage ones you can easily get over 300 rwhp. Some say you can get more

Ones and a 366 seems to really be a heck of a combo.

Soon I will wish I had gone that route lol

mike with the "~325hp" you dont think a turbo or at least a wheel would be necessary, if not an intercooler?

I think those prices are a little conservative but it sums it up.

The turbo will live well with StageI's. Mine went two years before I upgraded.
A IC would help but it's not a must have.
