500hp is enough in a psd...over those numbers and its stupid money for a engine that just isnt ment to make crazy numbers...cummins are the way to go but i would love to see the street 1000hp psd...there is a 10 second 7.3 but i know nothing about it...ill try to find something about it  

the 7.3 thats running in the 10s belongs to zane koch at wide open performance.  

yeah zane koch is right now running 871 rwhp. 130HP more and he would hit the 1000Hp mark. that would be cool.  

ya that rig is my dream truck lol  

hey guys just got a 97 7.3 powerstroke under the hood it has a aftermarket garrett turbo, what all had to be done to the motor to install this turbo? and is there a way to tell which garrett turbo it is, I think there are three different ones.  

all 7.3 came with garrett turbos, sorry to break it to you  

CR 7.3

Common Rail the 7.3  

it could be done but most people aren't intventive enough or broke like me
to start u will need a gridle, fire ringed , head studded, quad turbo , 530 dt 466 injectors, water meth , new exhaust manafold, doulble hpop's, custom programing like elite-diesel or dp tuner, new fly wheel, forged rods , ceramic coated pistons, and down pipe, custon cam, and crankshaft, custom heads,  

the closet power stroke (that i know of) thats road legal to 1000hp is the one that belongs to brians truck shop. it is in the 900hp range. runs in the low 11's in the quater. that would be someone you would need to call to help ya get there imo. but making that kind of power it is hard on all parts, i was up there a few weeks ago at there shop and they had the block out of that truck that had been broke in three ways. i am not meaning cracked i mean broke into three seperate sections.  

zanes 7.3 is legal and hes running 10's  

I agree my buddy has a 2002 7.3 sitting on 40's and he's making 304HP and 620 to the ground with a chip exhaust and afe stage 2. The guys at BTS transmissions said his wife was driving down the road in their 7.3 with 500+HP and it threw a rod. I agree with the guys about it's cheaper to soop up a cummins then a powerstroke. Spend about 15 grand and drop a cummins in that ford and it will scream! If you want to boost your HP you could throw some injectors in and redo your turbo and intercooler system. Do the turbo/intercooler first because the bigger injectors will produce more heat and you will need that cooler intake temp.
