Jim, I have the same scantool (OBDLink) and don't believe that the OBDwiz software works well with the 7.3, but I could be wrong. I have used the OBDwiz software on my other 3 vehicles though with great success (Subaru, VW and Mercury).
Let us know what you find out though, you may be a pioneer in using the software for the 7.3 truck.

I sent a request to find out if they have upgraded the product to facilitate use with my truck. I'll post back when they answer.

Here is a copy of the (10x) scaled data and one set back to (1x) original scale. The first is much easier to interpret, IMHO. Your calculations, just a 1-10 scale
Original (1x) data scale:
Data for (1x) scale:
Should be the same data interpretation but on a wider scale that fits the other data scales on the graph. Potayto, Potawto

OK... if we're fudging the numbers to fit the scale instead of adapting the scale to match the numbers - that works. I just needed that piece of info.
HPOP is marginal, so it is unknown what would happen if single-shots with big nozzles were thrown in there. I know I would budget for an HPOP if I were planning to power up - just in case.

No reply as yet, however I tried to use OBDwiz and a note comes up on the screen that my vehicle is not Standard OBDII Compliant.
Went through all the PIDs for Forscan again and there is no Boost selection that I can find.

The *connector* is OBDII compliant as required by law at that time, but it is NOT OBDII-software/protocol compliant.
You can connect OBDII devices, but you must use the *PWM1850* standard instead of OBDII standard protocol.
That is what we mean when we say it is not OBDII compliant. If your adapter and software do not support PWM1850, it will not connect to the PCM and never will

I had the truck hooked up and running while testing with Forscan and decided to give the OBDwiz a try.
As soon as the program opened my truck died and wouldn't start. Unhooked the OBDwiz and she fired back up again.
I guess until I have the money to invest in something better I will have to stick with the Forscan.

Clearing the CEL (DTC) codes often does the same- you should NEVER clear DTCs while the truck is running
You're on the right track.
Torque Lite is free, Torque Pro is...Maybe $5? Under $10, so easy.

It's an android program, so you'll need Bluestacks to run it
