7.3 idi upgrades

I was just wondering what things I can do to improve performance in my 92 f-250 4x4 with 7.3 idi, without buying a turbo such as exhaust and other things?

This is a reoccuring thread in here. At least once a week. Problem is there isnt much of an answer other than a turbo. You can straight pipe it, get a custom larger y-pipe form the manifolds for more free flow, make a custom ram air intake, remove the soup bowl, turn up the fuel and other small tricks like that. However, some argue those things have no affect on your power.

Anything you do to increase the air flow through the engine will let you run a bit more fuel.
A bit more fuel, makes a bit more power.

Any one of the mods will not make a huge change in the power alone.
But enough 5 HP here and 6 HP there mods can add up.

Want a big change in power?
You have one choice in three flavors.
Turbo by Banks, turbo by ATS, turbo by Hypermax.

Any of those can add between 30 and 50 percent more power.

Start stacking other mods on top of the turbo, you can come close to double the HP and a lot more torque.
