I still think 5 psi with a small turbo would be the cats meow. Pulling a trailer on grade, no problem. Maybe add on a AMSOIL twin filter kit.

seems like evan smith is working on that, the video out there now was the first shot at a cam, somewhat ported heads and a different intake. It sounded like they were gonna continue tweaking it

Just a 93 tune a lone from 5 star tuning yielded around 60 RWTQ and HP went up across the board as well. Think bolt-ons and tune will make some pretty damn good gains per the $$$ spent....

It wouldn't surprise me at all. Engines in general are detuned like hell from the factory to pass emissions. The bigger the displacement, the more it will benefit from "uncorking" it.

and to protect against the fact that you know if it's rated to tow 15k somebody will try to pull 18k with it

It just dawned on me that a procharged godzilla will curb stomp the Hellephant for a fraction of the cost. Oh and you will actually be able to buy it unlike the Hellephant.

Personally, I think the biggest letdown so far of the 7.3 is the LACK of being flex fuel capable. The 6.2 is flex fuel from the factory and seeing as its there as a fleet engine, it makes sense. I can tell you that ADOT will always buy the flex fuel engine over an engine that isnt. They get a credit from the federal DOT for every alternative fuel vehicle they have in the fleet. If Ford drops the 6.2 and the 7.3 isnt flex fuel by that time, Ford is going to lose a lot of fleet sales.

This new 7.3 would probably REALLY benefit from being flex fuel in stock form for towing. Assuming your route has flex fuel along the way.

I wonder if the logic/ability to add flex fuel parameters in the tune file is there? It was easily added into S197/S550 coyote ECUS..
