Need tuning help for 7.3 PSD

I have a friend that has an extremely built 7.3 that needs tuning help. We are getting SCT, and need some one that can help. Hopefully SCT is the thing to get, and that you guys can help him out. I am only familiar with EFI Live and am going to try and help him out. Thanks. PM me if necessary.

on a 7.3 the best thing for them is a good 6 pos. chip like from DP-tuner or TS.

With a built 7.3l I can tell you from experience that your friend will be much happier with a chip. He will have adjustability on the fly with the chip. Jody can also do more with tuning with the chip verses the SCT due to the limitations of the SCT software for the 7.3l.

I think he has been at 650rwhp for sometime, but he still doesn't pull very well. He just gets going into 3rd gear good, and it falls on it's face. (He gets on top of his turbo and it burp burp burp burp burp and by the time it downshifts, and he gets back into it, he is done.

GT 38... he wants to go to a 42 or 45, I know it is dang fast in the 1/4, but he gets on top of his turbo when he pulls. I don't know what he has for injectors. I am going to try and get a build sheet on it, including the cam grind(e) Sp??

it isnt close the turbo will only support 400-450 rwhp and luke has a 600 rwhp 7.3l and it take alot more air then that turbo and alot more then a stock block.

I guess he could be spraying the shyt out of it, but that is the only way to make anywhere near that much hp on a 38r.
