I have been building a 7.3 PSD motor for some time now, ever sence we blew the head gasket at the drags in Aug We had way to much NOS and Propane mixed in at the same time and at 52PSI the head gasket couldn't take it anymore,
Well I got a call today about my cam its done and is going to be shipped out tomarrow, I have been waiting on this thing for some time and am quite excited about it We found out a hole bush of new thats about the cam and what we can do to the motor,
Here is a link to some pictures of my motor being built

That looks like it's gonna be one bad PSD. Can't wait to the end result!!! Keep us posted.

Well the last time we ran was in Sac Cal, I blew the head at the 1/8 mile marker still ran a 13.7. Ran a 1.5 in the 60 the front tires had come off the ground at the line some guys that were there have pix but I have never seen them
We are hoping to have this thing engine dyno over 600 with #2 that should put us at around 525 to 550 at the wheels, We also changeing the NOS set up, We are going to try to run 8 twin foggers on for each in take that shoul put us in the low 800 Range
and keep in mind it will still be a daily driver

Well went do to LA to see a good friend of mine and also picked up the cam over the last weekend, well the weekend before last also found out some interesting things
There is going to be a new coating that will be available soon (heat coating) which substain up to 2800 degree's
We are currently looking into coat the exhaust manifolds again with this along with the turbo housing
The cam was changed 18% to start we also have another cam made that is changed 34% but we will run the smaller one for now to see what performance gains we come up with
While I was down in LA went to that dyno at Sunrise Ford and saw a few trucks run in the 350 to 370 range not to shabby We also ran an 03 with Steve Coles(TTS) new exhaust system and it produced moderate gains which was nice to see he could explain the results, Then we put on the 03 D-Max that Steve and I have been working well 1st run and only run hit 391HP on a Clayton load dyno not to bad for a chip and exhaust for a D-Max dually
