$5000 or so would just get you a good port job. The heads are still 2v design, the intake ports SUCK at flowing alot of air, and the HEUI design would be better replaced with a little commonrail injector nozzle. You'd be looking at 30K plus for a set of CNC heads that would be the cats ***!
Anyway, its not about "not wanting" to ram the air in, it's just the only decision you're left with.

You might want to Google that guy to see what he has accomplished with the 7.3 engine. He is in the top 5 in the 1/4 I think. That was before the 2 hairdryers. That pic you just saw was a courtesy shot to those who kept begging for pics.
As far as comparing that 20 year old gasser to Luke's truck

Is that not the sweetest thing you've ever seen! 
But it's way more crowded than my old 73 Chevy 1/2 ton I drove back in the 80's

But.......with the new Scan Gauge I've been hoping to get some Drive Pressure numbers to compare for when I put the 1.0 in. Now I just need to figure out how to figure it out

Jason,
Been contemplating buying that gauge all year. Just plug into the OBD port & run a power line right? How's the gauge at night? can you adjust the brightness?
I do want one, just haven't spoken to many that own one except for Chris.

Everything but the fuel pressure. Just need to get the "analog 1" wired to the sensor and power. It is sweet!
I had to get a fuel block w/ 3/8" npt ports, two plugs, and one 1/8" npt nipple from Jeggs. I already had the under the hood fuel gauge from DI so I just unscrewed the gauge and mounted the block where the gauge was. Should work....
Hey, who derailed this mess anyways?

wide open performance is who built the kit for my truck. It is a very big setup yet spools very well on the street. it was well worth the $ spent.

The lighting dims nice. No problems with day or night. I'll start a new thread when I get it all going.
