how much can a psd handle
i drive a cummins, but my friend just bought an 01 psd f350 6speed and he wants to add more power to it. gauges, air filter,exhaust i know what to look for in those but im not sure about the chips.he wants as much power as he can get for his money. i found a chip called max-e-tork that will go up to 220,but will the psd handle this without other modifications.is this chip any good and ive also heard that the most the stock injectors will put out is 70hp no matter what you do.

The only limit is in his connecting rods. If his engine was built after 10/16/00 then he has powdered metal rods, and will be pushing the envelope if he takes it past 400 rwhp. If it's earlier than that date his rods are forged, and can make as much power as he can afford.
Never heard of this max-e-torque chip. Gotta link to a website?
Stock injectors can make 330hp to the rear wheels easily, and with the right combination you can push close to 400. The 7.3 aftermarket is only gotten geared up for real in the last six or seven months, there are only a few guys above 600 RWHP on #2 only, but that is just the tip o the iceberg.

A lot of tip in fuel and a lot of timing. Good way to make a window in a block. 
I'd be interested in knowing who is writing his programming, and how he can offer a chip that is 55 horsepower stronger than the next closest guy, and half the price. Seems to good to be true. I'll be sending them an e-mail tomorrow, see if they'll give up any background information.

So, would you say that the 205 HP chip is not good for a 2001 with the powder metal rods? I also have an intake, exhaust, and Garrett BB turbo.

Hey Cookie,
I have never had to mess around with my cam sensor, but my neighbor said if you rotated the cam sensor a little to advance fuel injection timing it would really boost the power. Of course, he used to have a Dodge with Cummins 5.9, before he got his Ford PSD, so not real sure which his comment was referring to. Is it possible to make minute changes in the cam sensor positioning on the PSD to change the timing?

I dont think its possible to do the cam sensor turn thingie. The cam sensor is held in place by a bracket/screw. The other thing is that if you look at a CPS, it looks like a plug, with an eye that just looks....like its just seeing where the cam is. I have never heard of moving the cam sensor to make power. Maybe its a D*DGE thing, sorry guys i said a naughty word, (d*dge)

Anybody else want to send them an e-mail? I asked some pretty direct questions about how the power is made with that chip, but have not yet recieved a response.

Cookie, I spoke directly with the owner of that company, and he seemed pretty straight forward. But then again, since I'm no computer genius, I didn't know what questions to ask. You may try calling and asking directly. He seemed pretty cool, but then again he was trying to sell me something. Please post if you do!
I'm new to this. What is considered a "big turbo?" I have a Garrett GT38R BB Turbo, 4" exhaust, AFE intake, and a Hot Chip, If I decide to go with larger injectors, would I be screwing myself?

The 38R is big enough for the job. If you go with big injectors you will be pushing the envelope with PM rods. Might end up with a brand new inspection hole in your block. Don't get me wrong, it is doable, you'll just have to back the timing way down on the chip, and maybe add something else (like water injection) to control the cylinder pressure.
I'll give him a call next week. I am very interested in knowing who is doing his programming.
