 The plan for 500-rwhp on our 7.3L Power Stroke is shaping up...


 The pushrods are in the mail and the valvesprings are on order, as we'll be showing you how to install them without pulling the cylinder heads (by rolling the engine to TDC and performing the work one cylinder at a time with a spring compressor). After that, it'll be time for an upgraded fuel system to support an all-out effort from our hybrid injectors. Then, the mammoth Spearco intercooler we picked up for next to nothing will get finagled into place and we'll install the new T4 mount/turbocharger system. Then we'll re-tune the truck and hit the rollers.


 It's a lot to do, but there's nothing quite like a little winter project. It gives us something to do while we're cooped up indoors...
