Performance from 7.3
Hello everyone. I am new to the oilburners but I have a lot of experience with gas engines. I just bought a 89 f350 with a five speed 2wd and dualls. What sort of performace parts should I add and what would they cost and what performance will they give. I am looking for an upgrade plan for over the next four years. I am going to turbo it and it has a stack on it already so I dont need any exhaust mods. Thanks

Sounds like your already set once you get a turbo! Ram air the intake, get a pyrometer if it doen't already have one, so you can turn up the fuel a bit. This will give you more power--- but with dually I would guess your rear axle is 4:10 which sucks as far af milage goes. If you are just show and shine, go for 3.55 gears for better economy. If your hauling a load, stick with the 4:10's.

Well I haven't hardly driven the truck at all yet, I just got it this past weekend and I am at college untill next weekend. I bought it sight unseen (I had someone look at it for me) and all I have done is drive it home from there. The guy was only asking 1800 for it and it has a legit 66k miles on it. I got lucky as it has a fivespeed overdrive.
