Anyone remember this &quot;Blast from the Past&quot;?

100hp chip, 4&quot;exhaust w/5&quot;tip,TC, wastegate controller tube.

Note- now we have a custom chip on it so the mpg will be more. ;D

Gotcha, SD03<br>I just used a Superchips 1705 tuner and have noticed a little better gas mileage, but I'm still on my 1st tank, so it's hard to tell. Did the exhaust mod help?<br>All: please don't crucify me for talking PSD on a CTD site! :-[

SjLingenfelter

Yes the Exhaust helped lower the EGTs you can feel a difference in spool up and raised milage like 2mpg. You can really hear the turbo spooling up too its sounds sweet. theres a guy that owns a tow truck comany that bought a 5&quot; exhaust turbo back from us and he said when pulling the cars it really helps. It sounds freaky. <br><br>SD03

5&quot; I thought people were haveing problems with just a 4&quot; pipe?<br>DM01

I dont know. I seen it and heard it and I sounds freaky but nice. Its on the 7.3L. With being a tow truck he is running about 5-almost 600 hp. Cause the bed with everything on it weighs ALOT. Plus when pulling some of these cars and trucks it takes alot. So they tried it and they like how it lower EGTs and quick spool. <br><br>SD03

Injectors, turbo, chip, tranny, drugs, etc.. ??? 7.3 over 500 is like a bomb waiting to go off I'm not bashing them, heck I own one, just don't trust pushing it to the 500 mark! Shrapnel doen not excite me

SjLingenfelter

Thats just it. Its a secret. ;D Couple of the tow trucks own'd by one company have alot of stuff done to them. I can only tell you the basic- Turbo, custom injectors, different computer, fully rebuilt tranny. couple others....... ;D<br>ask BigBlue how they run he will tell you. <br><br>SD03 <br><br><br>[sub]Ill try to sneak a dyno sheet for ya.[/sub]

dodgeman01

has anyone seen the 7.3 psd with the old turbo diesel mechanical pump I have heard higher HP # out of them. Still not as high as a Cummins 8) but higher than most.<br><br>I do have one question. Why take a truck like that and spend a whole bunch of money to turn it up when you could buy a fl170 with better gearing. Do they pull trailers with these trucks? If I need 600hp I would sure not have a 1 ton truck are they f550?<br>DM01

SjLingenfelter

There tow trucks they race to the accident to get money so who ever gets there first and get the car gets money.So they need pwer to pull the cars and need power to race there.<br><br>SD03
