Yes, you're young but with an open ear you learn from us older more experienced guys what works and what don't. Another to think about is because you are young, thus probably not making 6 figures (hell I dont!) do you have the money to keep up repairs on a different truck?

Compare that to a 7.3L that can make up to 350 rwhp on stock injectors. Another thing to consider is that both the Cummins and Duramax have shattered the 1000 hp barrier. The 7.3L in it's current form hasn't done that yet. (I made that bold because there are as of now 2 trucks with 7.3L Powerstroke blocks that are well over 1000 hp, but they got rid of the HEUI injection and custom built their own p-pump engines).

If you want to see the current fastest 7.3L truck still using HEUI injection, then here you go:
YouTube - WOP goes 10.86 @ 124!!!

YouTube - WOP Race Truck makes 871RWHP!!! 7.3 Power Stroke

The way I see it is this. I spent money. If you can benefit from my mistakes, good for you. 2 for the price of 1.
I think I am older than he is and still not making 6 figures. Now what?

I would be glad to make 2 figures.
