Dave, how do you like that set-up? Did you notice any "butt dyno" gains?

 

I like it. It fits well and it makes my intake system 3" throughout.

My butt dyno isn't that finely tuned, and I added a PowerStroke intercooler at the same time.

 

Thanks, my dad and I keep looking at the stock elbow as a part to replace, but all the major places tell him they no longer make/stock parts for a 93.

 

Well, it sounds like a 3" system and 7.3 PWR STRK IC are the way to go. I fired off a PM to TWorline, for the "go to guy" he sure doesn't have any pics or a filled out profile. We will see what he says. I think I really like the tubes, If they work as good as they look then I thin they are the way to go. Like all the other things I have asked about this is going to be down the road a ways.

What year Power joke IC or does it matter? Any 7.3?

Are there any other options for a new intake horn setup?

 

Any 7.3 will work, just make sure it has metal tanks, and not plastic.
The fit isnt as good, and may not be feasible with a 90-style grille, but I put a 2ndGen IC in my 92, with lots of room to spare on the sides. if you want AC, it may be a no-go with an earlier grille.

Machinos- try a load and see how it does. A diesel wont run as hot as a gasser, and you may be able to get away with keeping your stock radiator. If not, you can take the brackets from your stock set up and have them brazed onto a later intercooled radiator. My 91 had that done when I got it, and I never had any issues with it. At least not til the fan hub bearing took a dive for the radiator 10mi east of Terre Haute IN at 1 am.

Mattster- get ahold of rbrettctd- he had a calssified ad a few weeks ago for custom nonIC crossovers. I think anything you can do to improve airflow and get rid of that bottleneck will be good. Cant hurt.

'00 - '03 are the years to look for on the 7.3 IC's.

There's also an article in the sticky about installing a 2nd gen intercooler into a non-IC truck. There are only a few square inches of difference in the core area, so keep your options open and buy what you can find for a good price. Either one can and has been done.
